I don't know if it is just me, but when I use partition magic on a multiboot system I get error message (can't remember sorry), and I have to re-install (upgrade) Mandrake to get it working again.
-----Original Message----- From: David Rankin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 08 April 2002 15:00 To: mandrake Subject: [expert] Installing LM 8.2 as 3rd OS w/Partition Magic Experts, I need some pointers for installing LM 8.2 as 3rd OS. I am using Partition Magic to free up 10G of unused space on my first drive. My current setup is as follows: Drive 1: 20G WD (I know its a WD, but it was cheap). Currently a single partition holding Win98. I will use Partition Magic 7.0 to resize this into 2 10G partitions; Drive 2: 1.6G WD Currently running LM 7.2 (Ext 2) Drive 3: Fat32 data drive Does anyone have any pointers or gotchas that I should watch out for? This is my first attempt with partition magic. Should I let partition magic create the primary and swap Ext 2 partitions, or should I just create the unused space and let the LM 8.2 install create the partitions? How will this effect my current grub config for the Win98 - LM7.2 dual boot? Any help will be greatly appreciated....... -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E. RANKIN * BERTIN, PLLC 1329 N.
