Hello again "newbie Group"
Well I've got a new one, I just got a 13.0 gig WD hard drive for
free, I would like to use it all for Linux. I found that VMware uses it's
own partition inside the Linux partition, better(or it's easier) than to
use a second hard drive(Raw partition)
The only thing is the 1024 thing....can I partition the 13.0 in
fdisk without EZdrive? the Bios sees it as 8.4 gig but when I start fdisk
I see the 25228 cylinders.
When fdisk starts I get the following message:
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 25228
there is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OS's
(e.g., Dos Fdisk, OS/2 FDisk)
I was thinking of doing two partitions,
Hdc1= / at around 1208000 (give or take)
hdc2= swap at around 600000
then once all is ok I would install Windows98 and NT inside the
12.0gig partition using VMware.
well what do you think?
