Bruno Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 ColinI will be off line soon . . . Before you start: Do you have a boot-CD for PCLos ?? And does it work ??We want to be sure you do NOT overwrite hda1, hda7, hda8 and hda9hda1 = Windowshda7 = Mepishda8 = swaphda9 = PCLosSo resize hda5 and hda6 . . those are the "free" partitions . . . and rezize them with the Mandrake installer tool while doing the install . . Good night . . . see you tomorrow ! Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfProRM Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 how much free space do you have on D?if you have enough, you don't need to uninstall any more... Just resize and go... won't affect anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 DEFRAG the D drive though !! Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted May 20, 2004 Author Share Posted May 20, 2004 Now RyanHadn't thought of that BUT which part of the resizing would I put MDK 10???Also It may be appropriate to an Ontracks version of Symantecs Windoctor first as I Have Ontracks System Suite Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted May 20, 2004 Author Share Posted May 20, 2004 BrunoI use System Suite SO are you suggesting a Windows defrag First of D Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfProRM Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 yes, you should defrag D first....doesn't matter which part of the two partitions you put Mandrake on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted May 20, 2004 Author Share Posted May 20, 2004 Well ryan/BrunoIt's back into windows for either a Windows Defrag of D or whatever it is in System SuiteFingers Crossed OOPS that was the EYESColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfProRM Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I don't know system suite, so can't help you with it, but I do recommend using the standard windows defrag (Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools-> Defrag) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 ColinWhile you are in Windows:Print this out:hda1 = C: Windowshda5 = D:hda6 = E:hda7 = Mepishda8 = swaphda9 = PCLos And stick it on your monitor ! Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Colin:6th screen: The DrakX Partitioning wizard found etc. etc. . . there you choose "costom disk partitioning" . . that is the only change in the "how-to" Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 It will sure overwrite your PCLos lilo . . that is why you have the rescue CD for PCLos . . . Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 PART 2You better listen to Ryan and use the default Windows defragger . . and not the Ontrack's System Suite JetDefragB) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamicota Posted May 20, 2004 Author Share Posted May 20, 2004 OOPS Ryan/Brunohave NEVER used Windows Defrag at all it has been System Suite all the way and I think they compute (not the right word) the defrags their own different wayscolin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 ColinWhatever you do:Do NOT make extra partitions . . . because your PCLos boot CD will not work if the numbers ( hda9 ) change !!Your boot CD points to hda9 and if that changes you can not boot with the boot CDB) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 OOPS BrunoThen if I resize HDA5 to a 5G & 6.7G it WILL change that & PCLOs will NOT be on HDA 9. Is this what I am hearing Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfProRM Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 not exactly....you resize hda5 to 5 gig and hda6 to the 6.7 (or whatever it is)... then everything else will stay the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 HMmmmmmmmm RyanThat does not compute cos'Then there would be Hda1 WindowsHd5 5. Old Dhd? 6.7Hd6 Ehd 7 MepisHd 8 SwapHd9 PCLosSurely Hd? 6.7 would become another # not ? and change all the restColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross549 Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Colin, hda6 (or E, as you like to call it), will no longer exist according to windows. It needs to be resized, and have Drake 10 put on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 AdamWhat I have is D = 11.7G & E = 0.97G sp if only D is resized into 5 & 6.7G then that puts an extra Partion inSo possibly it is combine D & E and then resize, Sound RightBut boy combining them seems a little avanced for an explorer Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 Me Thinks this is better left for the light of a new dayColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross549 Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Colin, you will NOT be crating a new partition...D will be shrunk down, and E will be enlarged to fit the open space. Your partition numbers will stay the same. Then, you will install linux on the E drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 AdamSurely D needs to merge with E to give 12.7G and then partioned to have D @ 5G & E @7.7 or so and this one to put MDK 10 omThis gives me the willies :'( as to How the resizing etc is to be done in DrakeMighty have to look up HOW MDK's Partitioning tool works to settle the Butterfiles needed.Oh well It's early daysColin (I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
