Okay, this definitely fits in the newbie catagory... I've been playing around with my dual-boot Win2k/ML9 install, when it finally got to me that I can't really interact with the Windows partition, due to the NT file system. So, I decided to downgrade the Windows install to Win98SE. Now, what makes this a newbie issue is that fact that I blindly deleted the first partition on the drive, which happened to have both the Win2k install and the boot loader redirectory, so now I can't boot into Windows (duh) NOR Linux! (I understand that's not entirely true, but for newbie purposes we'll presume that it is)
So, in perfect newbie fashion, I decided to pop in my Compaq Evo N150 recovery disc and completely start ALL OVER AGAIN! But here's the question: If this "recovery" forced me to reformat the entire drive and make the whole thing one partition, how am I supposed to install Linux on it for a dual-boot? Maybe I should ask "WHERE" am I supposed to install Linux? Please help, because I'm sure to cause myself more pain hashing through it myself... -Lawrence
