[Cooker] Partition table after WindowsXP
When attempting to install Mandrake8.1 it could not read my parition table. In the past this hasn't been a problem.. but this occured after installing WindowsXP so I am guessing WinXP did something nasty to my partition table. I was just wondering if there was something that Mandrake could 'change' in their installer to be able to read the partition table. Or is this just an issue of it being WindowsXP's fault and to deal with it myself? Many thanks -- Azrael (\''/).___..--'''-._ `0_ O ) `-.

RE : [Cooker] Partition table after WindowsXP
Hello World, If I may, i have this kind of probleme with an Win98 allready Installed. When then i install Mdk 8.0; Windows 98 (Fat32) is unabled to be booted ;=[ But not NT4 (Fat16) or NT4Server(Fat16). Here is the caracteristics of the partitions : /hda1 [ Fat 16 Dos 6.2 50Mo ] Primary /hda2 [Ext. Part. 30 Go] /hda5 [Fat 32 W98 OSR2 2 Go] /hd6 [Fat 16 NT4 SP 6.2 2 Go] /hda7 [Fat 16 NT4 Srv SP 6.2 2 Go] /hda8 [Fat 16 Data 15 Go] /hda9 [Fat Ext2 350 Mo root] /hda10 [Fat Ext2 6.5 Go /usr ] /hda11 [ Linux Swap 250 Mo] /hda11 [Free Unallocated 6.5 Go ] Unaccessible Novell Netware 5.1 5 Go (DATA and SYS) But if Idestroy my three Linux partitions Win98 boot perfectly ;=) ?? Strange to me ?? Is Win98 Osr2 incompatible in anyway with Mdk 8.0 ?? Or Novell stuffs I don't know ? During the installation I ask Lilo to place the Boot Loader Lilo on a Floppy; if it help ? Meanwhile, i cant have Linux installed on my school hard drive that make me sad ;=) Have a nice day ;=) Whisper

That s not the point ;=) Please..., try to remove the windows partition completly, wipe it clean from your hard drive!!!... If you have M$ Windoze related questions I strongly advise you to seek professional help in that genre, and/or elsewhere. And, please do not take offence..., I'm a former (MCSE) ms technician/engineer and I'm so very tired of that enormously stupid os that ms has presented so far. It's an os for dummies, or worse... Ohh, I have an CNE on 4.11 but that's just as stupid, I hate that one even more... I have seen the light!

Or Novell stuffs I don't know ? try creating a dos partition as the last logical partition (aka hda12 in your case), it may help windows.
