seeking wisdom regarding an os
bha:
well, it's not in the windows fdisk anyway. i'm going to go back to try and see if i can install linux. i'll try not to use the default instaa, which is even more intimidating.
bha:
well, it appears that even in the expert install, i am still unable to accomplish this thing. unfortunately, i am receiving errors
not enough free space to auto allocate
partition failed
hmmmm, the hell if i know at this point what to do.
voidmain:
After running scandisk in Windows on your C: drive you might try to create another FAT partition in the free space using Windows. Then format it to become a D: drive. If that works then I would suggest deleting that newly created D: partition, then download and install RedHat 7.3.
Unless some of the Mandrake users here have the answer (you might want to search Mandrake's web site). I don't use Mandrake so I can't really give you any Mandrake specific help or insight, other than I don't pariticularly care for Mandrake. But I'll keep my opinions to myself, or is that too late?
bha:
ahhhhh, but wait my many feathered friends and battalion leaders, i may have figured it out. damn, been awhile since i used dos...
bha:
installation successful. both operating systems work beautifully, and i must say that i love the way linux looks and i am very excited to "play." so, if you'll excuse me, there's a lot to learn and enjoy.
thank you all for your help with this endeavor.
:D
