Gentle folks,
I have an old PII system, running Mdk 9.1 and W2k, on a HDD of 8GB as
follows:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda6 2.1G 2.0G 74M 97% /
/dev/hda4 46M 6.4M 37M 15% /boot
/dev/hda1 3.0G 2.9G 143M 96% /mnt/win_c
/dev/hda2 2.5G 2.4G 133M 95% /mnt/win_d
As you can see, there is not much room left here :-)
What I plan to do is to buy a new IDE drive of 80 gig and try Symantec
Norton Ghost (or something else) to clone the old drive content onto
the new one. It would be also nice to 'widen' the existing partition -
to be larger than they are now (recently I managed to make that from a
2.4 GB to 40 GB disk running W2k only, using Symantec Norton Ghost
2001, but I am not sure if that tool would work with win/lin combo
drive). Any suggestion?
Regards,
Misko

Why not leave your Windows alone on the existing drive and
install a new drive as slave on the primary IDE motherboard port.
This would make it hdb -- then do a new install of mandriva 10.1
or ? on hdb.
When Mandriva is working on hdb --then blow away the linux
partitions on hda and use partition magic to expand the Windows
partitions.
You wouldnt have to use Ghost on the new drive -- only linux :)
Mandriva deserves its oun drive.
