The PM included with LM CAN NOT resize NTFS partitions. DO NOT confuse Win2000 with NT they are not the same. In Win2000 you can use the disk utility to convert the NTFS to Fat32. DiskDrake or PM can then be used to resize that partition and then to create a partition for the Mandrake installation. If this by chance was an attempt to install linux4win, it will not work period, with Win2000. Charles Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

Microsoft needs to make things more compatable dont they? Linux is always attempting to make things compatable with everything else, what about windows?

Re: [expert] Re: [MandrakeForum] WIN2K
I'm not quite sure what you're trying to do, but I'm running Win2k Server, Pro, Win98 and Linux-Mandrake 7.2 beta 2 all on the same box using the NT bootloader for all. If you install them each on a separate partition, you shouldn't have any problem. Of course you can't install them all on the same partition and expect them to work. Let me know what you need (write off list if necessary) Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] Armisis Aieoln wrote: > > Microsoft needs to make things more compatable dont they? > Linux is always attempting to make things compatable with everything else, > what about windows? > > On Sun, 17 Sep 2000, you wrote: > > > > - Original Message - > > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2000 4:28 PM > > Subject: [MandrakeForum] WIN2K > > > > > WIN2K > > > (http://forum.mandrakesoft.com/article.php3?sid=2917132808) > > > > > > Nacho writes "Can't install Mandrake Linux 7.1 on WIN2K.

Re: [expert] Re: [MandrakeForum] WIN2K
I'd advise replacing that NTloader with grub or lilo. The NT loader is a strange animal. I tried using the NT loader when it was linux first and 2k second...funny thigs are bound to happen. If you lose the NT loader, getting it back on their is no fun. Using lilo/grub and a boot disk for linux(after installing win before linux) has proven to be the safest bet for me. I was a three time loser in this before I discovered the stability of this logic :) On Mon, 18 Sep 2000, you wrote: > > I'm not quite sure what you're trying to do, but I'm running Win2k > Server, Pro, Win98 and Linux-Mandrake 7.2 beta 2 all on the same box > using the NT bootloader for all.
