Going to have to reinstall WinXP
« on: October 16, 2005, 04:06:23 pm »
Yeah, I tried to create a WinXP boot disk for my other computer but it doesn't work for some reason... So I'm going to have to spend like, forty minutes of my day installing WinXP again.  However, before I do that, I'm thinking of installing Slackware..  Last time I posted people said "Reinstall WinXP and you can put slackware in as well".. so yeah.
What am I going to need?

You don't need PartitionMagic, Slackware's installation disc does it all for you.

EDIT: Here's a link to Slackware torrent files. Download Installation ISO disc 1 and 2, don't mind the source discs. Burn them to a CD after that and have iago or Newby walk you through it.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Notice, I'm obviously going to have to reinstall WinXP and I'll tweak the partitions then.  For some reason, the hard-drive has ZERO partitions on it. heh.

Install Linux first.  Boot off Slackware 1.  When you get a prompt, type:

$ cfdisk

That'll let you partition your drive.  You need 3 partitions:
- Linux (5gb or more)
- Linux Swap [you have to change the type to 82 in cfdisk] (1gb or so)
- Windows (5gb or more)

Then "write" the partition table to the disk.  After that, I would recommend rebooting and installing Windows XP. 

Once that's complete, install Slackware by booting off the disk and typing:
$ setup
Choose "Add swap", then follow the instructions. 

And if you need any help at all, ask Ergot.  He's the best at helping!

(and it's "a iago", not "an iago", if you're saying "an" then you're pronouncing "iago" wrong :P)

I do it that way since I find windows gets more errors when installing, and its easier to clear it all and try it again.

I can help with Slack installations, iago helped me once and I've done it many times (including today)
