[newbie] DiskDrake And WinXP
Just surfing around various broads, trying to answer a previous post. I came across that DiskDrake cannot format ntfs partitions(Laptop was winXP on a ntfs partition) without corruption. I think this explains my inability to succesfully install Mandrake. Anyone have any more information, or a better explanation? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] DiskDrake And WinXP
I think that Linux doesn't support ntfs partitions, I am not sure. Anyway, if you want to resize your ntfs partition to make possible installing mandrake, you will need something like partition magic, but there is partition star as well, a shareware program, you can use it for 30 days. Hope I have helped, greetings ! Rodrigo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just surfing around various broads, trying to answer a previous post.

From what I have heard Partition Magic 7.0 is availible. Hopefully this is shareware. If not i'll scream untill I get mandrake running heh. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

PMagic isnt sharewhere. You can download a 'demo' from their site that will show you what the app will do if you pay them. But you cannot make write any changes to your partition table. If you use the iMesh file sharing program, you can do a search for partition magic and can usually find one that says Partitoin Magic Pro 7 FULL. It is a realativly small download. That one will work for you. On Sun, 2002-02-10 at 21:40, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From what I have heard Partition Magic 7.0 is availible. Hopefully this is shareware.

Anyone have any more information, or a better explanation? I finished up buying Partition magic after surfing the boards and it seemed that was about the only way -- for now. Something else about half the price claimed it would do it - but a search on that revealed a lot of disappointed customers. I am sure there must be a better way but I don't know it! I can now mount my windows ntfs partition in linux. Works great. Walter Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
