Then make sure you are still on D: . . . and push the resize button . . a little window will pop up with a slider . . . . . . take 10 G off . . then show me another shotB) Bruno

Well I did what you said and he naughty computer said "this drive is not resizeable". :pirate: Arrrrrh! No back talk from you computer . . . walk the plank!

If ALL the data from that D: is backed up we can delete the partition and make a new ( smaller ) D: first . . and after that use the free space for making a SUSE partition.:pirate: Bruno

The only thing that appears to be on the D: is the trashbin. I removed everything else. I mainly used it to store pictures.

HURRAY !!Now click onn the empty part and press "Create" or something like that . . . . we will first make a small Win partition . . . ( FAT 32 )( I need to know what buttons you have in the left panel . . you can remove old screenshots if you need to so you can upload new ones :pirate: )B) Bruno

Okay I entered you info and I have a DISKDRAKE message:the package reiserfsprog is needed. Install it? Yes/No. I presume "yes"

Posted

Sure . . YES . . and give it the CD it asks for :DB) Bruno

Posted

Okay it install the package and created the partition. I am copying a screenshot now.

Great news !!If I am not mistaken the SUSE partition will be hda6 . . . now write that on your sleeve so you do not forget . . . . . and reboot to see what Windows is saying about the new D: you created ;)I will be inspecting the last screenshot ;):w00t: Bruno

Posted

I have to click "done" first before I reboot, don't I?

Posted

When you click on it it will show what partition it is , . . . . . and how big :w00t: . . .and what format :DB) Bruno

Posted

Yep !! . . . and then check your Windows install . . . and come back to Mandrake for a last check :DB) Bruno
Posted

Well I clicked done (twice) and rebooted. I did not go to windows or the boot loader but receieved this is the message: "Type thename of the command interpreter (e.g. c:\windows\command.com)a>

Posted

Did you get the LILO bootloader . . . with Mandrake and Windows listed ?Can you boot Mandrake ?:w00t: Bruno

Posted

Sorry a little panic made me forget some details. Okay. After I rebooted I go to LILO and I have all my choices. I clicked windows and received this message:"Type thename of the command interpreter (e.g. c:\windows\command.com)a>" I did reboot again an went into Mandrake 9.2. That is where I am at right now.

Looks like Windows had its start files on a hidden part of the D partition . . . . you will need to do a repair install of Windows . . . it will make a new partition for those files and so hda5 will most likely become hda6 . . and hda6 will be hda7 . . . ( or it will make a hda2 and leave the numbers as they are )A repair install is possible without you losing your files on C: . . . but if you want to make sure you do not loose "My Documents" copy the most important ones over to Mandrake just to be sure ( you can still go "in" windows C: from Mandrake )Gaucho had the same not long ago and a repair fixed it :w00t: . . . but you need the mandrake boot-CD after that because Windows will overwrite the MBR . . so we need to restore the Lilo later using the boot CD.:thumbsup: Bruno

Okay, I have Windows backed up. You want me to reboot with my windows 98 disk in the cdrom and hit install?peepwallA.gifpeepwallA.gifpeepwallA.gif209166.gif209166.giftcwozerekeri4.giftcwozerekeri4.gif

Is it Win 98 ?? . . . . And it had its startfiles on D ? . . .Very unusual . . . . . :'(Anyway . . yes that is what I want you to do . . simply install win 98 on C . . . . ( I doubt if win 98 had the "repair" option . . . but I could be wrong ) . . . . you have it all backed up so what can you loose ??Sorry Sham . . . . it was all going so well up to now :w00t: . . . . . Well, we have the partitions set up, a quick install of 98 and we are ready for the big jump to SUSE ( tomorrow :thumbsup: )Do check after the Windows install with your Drake boot CD what the partition numbers are ! . . . And you can restore lilo with

# /sbin/lilo

No worries because Windows wlll boot after that because it will again be on C ;):lol: BrunoPS: What a wild adventure . . . . isn't it ?
