What do you mean by "when you installed new hard drive". Did you install a new hard drive on your windoz box and then install Mandriva, or did you already have windoz and Mandriva installed and then added a hard drive? If Mandriva was already on your machine and you added extra drive then you should already have a swap partition. If not then you can go into Mandriva Control Centre and select the "create, Del, re-size" icon. Be sure to back up any personal files on both Mandriva and windoz first. registered Linux user number 414240 Guy Faulks the only person to enter the Parliament with honest intentions and he was going to blow them up ! --------------------------------------------- Free POP3 Email from www.Gawab.com Sign up NOW and get your account @gawab.com!! ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
