Hello to all, I am new to Linux and have some questions about installing Sarge on a Windows 2000 machine. I want to partition the hard drive and have dual boot functionality. I read online last night (in a couple of places) that Linux won't boot if it is installed past 1024 cylinders on the drive. So I need to set up a partition before that point on the drive...no problem...but, my drive is formatted in NTFS and not Fat32. So I downloaded a trial of PartitionMagic 8.0 to do the partitioning. I haven't taken any action yet, because I still had some questions about it.
1. Can I partition the drive and format the new partition as Fat32 and leave the first part of the disk as NTFS? 2. If the above mentioned is ok, how do I load sarge onto the new partition? 3. If the above mentioned is NOT ok, what do I do? Any help is much appreciated!
