[newbie] Drive Full?!? (please respond this time)
Hey Everyone, I keep trying to partition my hard drive so I can use Linux, but when I do so, it says that the last cylinder of my drive is full. So it thinks my entire drive is filled up, which it isn't. I have a 27.3 GB Hard Drive which I've maybe used 5 GB of. It's definitely not full! I need help!!!

Re: [newbie] Drive Full?!? (please respond this time)
Okay: I understand about the types of partitions
that I have to have.. but right now.. I have a Windows partition that is like
26068 MB (or something close to that) and then I have a 15MB empty partition..
that's all.. and it doesn't allow me to resize my Windows partition without
deleting it. I just got this computer from Gateway like a week ago and it's a
powerhouse system with full Linux compatibile components..

Your boot partition MUST be before 1024
cylinder..
Reorganize your partition something like that:
1. WinXX (if you have one)
2. Linux boot partition (starting from cylinder 1024)
Size: ~30MB
3. WinXX (if you want to have more space for
Windoze)Size: up to you
4. Linux swap partition, Size: up to you
5. Linux root partition, Size: up to you
So, the ONLY important point here is No.2

Hey thanks! You're right, I am using Norton Utilities 2000, I guess I'll remove it! Thanks a ton! I hope this works! -Kyle "Orange" Spahn Freespace 2 Coordinator Lead Reviewer Descent Chronicles - http://descent.gamestats.com News GameLordz Network - http://www.gamelordz.net News Summoner Homeland - http://www.summonerhl.com - Original Message - From: "Wayne" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 12, 2000 8:33 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] Drive Full?!? (please respond this time) Kyle, at a guess I would say you are running a Windoze box with probably the latest version of Norton's on it. WOuld I be correct? If so, the problems you are having is that Nortons will write infrequently used files to the last part of your hard disk to make the file access quicker. What you will have to do is either remove NOrton's from your system and then run a slow windoze defrag, or, find out whiat files these are, then under your Norton's options tell it to place them first on the disk. Hope you are using Nortons and I hope this helps. Wayne
[newbie] Partitioning Woes
Hey everyone, I'm having a really strange problem with my hard drive right now. I'm trying to resize my Windoze partition so that I can get Mandrake 7.02 installed on my new box.. I need to get my Windoze partition smaller, but the only way any of the things to partition I've tried to get it partitioned is to erase the partition and then repartition it over. I know there is some time of error here as I have setup Linux systems of my own. In fact, my old box is now running a server in Linux. Anyone think they can help me out? Oh yeah, one thing I was thinking it was was this 'Gateway Go-Back' thing which kept backups of everything, but I disabled that an uninstalled it and it's still not working. Oh yeah, one last thing, I've tried partitioning with the included software during install, plus I've tried Partition Magic 3.0... =P -Kyle "Orange" SpahnFreespace 2 CoordinatorLead ReviewerDescent Chronicles - http://descent.gamestats.com NewsGameLordz Network - http://www.gamelordz.net NewsSummoner Homeland - http://www.summonerhl.com
Re: [newbie] Lothar..
I set it so it's not PnP through software, that was the only way I could get it to work with Linux boot before.. (at one time in the past I had used the bootnet.img to download Mandrake, but after about like 6 hours or so, it would fail doing something..) But I'm gonna go ahead and try all that stuff you sent me! ;) -- -Kyle "Orange" Spahn Freespace 2 Lead Lead Reviewer Descent Chronicles - http://descent.gamestats.com/ Newsie Reviewer GameLordz Network - http://www.gamelordz.net News Hound Summoner Homeland - http://www.summonerhl.com/ - Original Message - From: "Denis Havlik" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2000 6:17 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Lothar..

I hate those. :-( This also means I NEVER EVER BOUGHT ONE OF THOSE MYSELF (this was a disclaimer). Now back to buisness: Can you find out which port + interrupt it uses under windows? Then reserve those in BIOS (set "no PnP OS installed" and "IRQ X reserved for legacy ISA") Finaly, take a look at networking.txt (kernel-doc package, /usr/kernel.doc-*/networking directory) to see what is the problem with ne-2000 compatible cards. Look for: 8390 based Network Modules I think you will need the "ne" + "8390" modules. Try it out with "modprobe" or "insmod" (better modprobe, since ne depends on 8390) and specify the options on the comandline - once it works you can add it all to conf.modules. hope this helps (write back what you got) cu Denis

[newbie] Monitor Incompatibility and some other things..
Okay, I have everything else working so far but I can't figure out how to configure my NEC CS500 monitor to work Mandrake. It also failed when making the bootdisk towards the end of setup and the part where you choose which partition to boot.. it failed on that part (I do have Partition Magic installedon Windows though). If you guys could help me, that would be SUPER awesome! I'm really looking forward to getting Linux on my system even though it's being a little troublesome.. -Kyle "Orange" Spahn Freespace 2 Lead Descent Chronicles - http://descent.gamestats.com/ E-Mail - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ # - 22966915

[newbie] Network Card- Please Help!!!
Hey everyone, sorry... I've asked about this before but I still need help. I'm brand new to Linux and don't know much about it, but my DE-220 PCT NIC isn't working with the installer program.. Could someone tell me what I should do to get it to work? That would be SOO awesome if you would! -Kyle Spahn
[newbie] Networkd Card Probs.
I wrote a message to the list a while back about my D-Link DE-220PCT not working but someone said it would work as a NE2000 and compatible card. I typed in my IRQ and IO in the specific options under that and it didn't work. Is there any miscellaneous options that I should've wrote in? If so, and you know what they are.. please reply! I would LOVE to get Linux working on my computer!!! -Kyle Spahn

I found out the hard way that my network card is not supported with Linux Mandrake. I have a D-Link DE-220 PCT, has anyone seen support for this? I'm unable to download Mandrake because I have a cable modem and it relies on the network card. Help would be appreciated! Thanks! -Kyle "Orange" Spahn
