Anyway, AFAIK the 1024 cyls limit for LILO is non-issue as of 7.1 beta. It

There is a driver for the Promise Card, but it must be used

Just a quick note about this.. That is a true statement about it being a
post-install, but that does not mean you can not connect your
hard drive to
Hey...thanks, I'll probably attempt to move my Windows partition...

Stevewhoops! Also make sure you have both the 2 floppy
recovery disc set for Partiton Magic and the BootMagic recovery
floppy made up and standing by in case you screw up.

Civilemeyou are of course correct about the need for a Linux
/boot partition under the 1024 cylinder limit (oops, I got so
involved in the BootMagic question I failed to note the need for
a Linux /boot partition). But, BootMagic also needs to be
installed on a dos/windows (not ntfs)
Quick question...why was this so painless on the last system I installed
Linux on? (also the first) I thought it got easier?

Steveif you want to use BootMagic as your multi-os boot
manager then you will have to deal with the 1024 cylinder limit
as long as your primary master hard drive is larger than 8 gig.
Of course you can elect to use lilo (part of Linux) as your
multi-os boot manager instaed of BootMagic and
Steveyou tell me, you know what the differences are between
that machine and this one, I do not.

I ran into the same thing on mine. It was the size of my win98
partition. Set your first partition down to about 7.5 gigs and the
others will install. You need to have your boot partition in the first
1023 cylinders, under 8 gigs.

For all of you talking about these hidden partitions. Once you figure out
what they are can you let me know?
Thanx

Civilme,
In light of what you say below, would you say that IBM drives are
better than names like Maxtor or Western Digital?
