G'day all, Because of weight restrictions in my baggage allowance when I recently moved from Australia to Thailand, I was forced to sell off my old computers and bits etc - so now I don't have the luxury of having a whole computer I can just stick Linux on and it won't matter if I break it:) But I want to succeed, ultimately, so I'll take a deep breath and try for a dual boot system...
I just built a new system last night, [It's running Win2Kpro] with a 40G hard drive I was thinking of splitting in halves with Partition Magic, and I've got an 80G HDD I brought with me from Australia that has all my backing tracks etc in wav files an MP3s, and CoolEditPro sessions etc. I'd like some help, please, to avoid any possible "gotcha's" to get this to work - I'm not looking for detailed point by point, just the major steps and in which order to do them - lets see how far I get :)) * If I split the 40G into two 20G partitions, how can I install Mandrake on the other half without it taking over the whole drive? * How can I make Mandrake see the files on the other half of the 40G, as well as the 80G? * oh, and btw will Win2K be able to see the Linux files too?
