Just to clarify, i want to install a dual boot system consisting of WinXP and M8.2. I've already installed WinXP but i have trouble installing M8.2 because of the problem stated earlier. Thanks for replying.

I'm having problems installing M8.2 over WinXP. I have a 20GB harddisk and i partitioned it into 3. C: takes 5GB and D: takes 7GB. The rest i left it for Mandrake. After installing WinXP using NTFS filesystem, i booted M8.2 and ran the setup program. The problem came in when it couldn't detect the partitions or something.
"An error occured. Ask_before_blanking: unknown partition table format."
Anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Use the FDISK program on a boot floppy from M$hit and delete your NTFS partition. Now if you want to really feel like a geek, boot off the winX(tra)P(ain) CD & use its partitioning tool to delete the NTFS (Needlessly Trashing File System), then boot the MDK CD. Use its partitioning tool to make your partitions. Install & pray :)
Should you fail to delete your partitions successfully re-reply to the list & I'm sure Stephen will help you (he's the most prolific poster today so I'm picking on him).
