If I were to mail you [iago] one of my harddrives, could you stick Slackware on it and mail it back? Last time I tried to install Slack I fragged my drive and killed about 8gb of music, and a LOT of my "stuff." I can probably pay for shipping, if it's not eleventy billion dollars, that is.
I've also gotten some weird errors about the installer not finding my swap partition after I made the ...swap partition. Anyways, it just refuses to install -.-
-
Sure, I'll PM you my address.
-
How hard could it be to install Slackware? :P
-
*shrug* it doesn't matter much to me, installing Slackware is fun :)
-
I dunno, but I've tried twice, killed my HD both times, and somehow managed to make Slack not find my partitions.
-
Maybe you just suck at everything, including using PartitionMagic? I've installed it successfully twice, once on a seperate computer and once as a dual boot. No problems WHATSOEVER. Kthx, bye.
-
Partitionmagic? fucking nubs CFDISK FOR LIFE
-
Seriously who uses Partition Magic. CFDisk 4 life. I like to personally start with no partitions made then make my Downloads 10 gb partition , a 2 gb Swap , a 10 gb Linux, and the rest Windows. 22 gb in other stuffs.
-
If you're going to do a dual boot, you need PartitionMagic, losers.
-
uh when I dualbooted I never touched it.
-
I've also never used PartitionMagic to set up a dualboot. Wtf are you talking about? :P
I used PartitionMagic for the first time a couple days ago because I needed a big FAT32 drive, and Windows sucks at life. But it's only like a 15 or 30 day trial, then I won't ever use it again :)
-
That's the point. I have one 120GB hdd that I want to share between Windows and Linux (Windows is installed on the other 80GB drive, but running out of space) so I made most of it FAT32. Therefore, I need the cracked version of PartitionMagic.
-
Having a large FAT32 drive has nothing to do with dualbooting!
-
It does if you install Linux on it, and want to use it for storage for BOTH operating systems. Without dualbooting, there would be no "both".
-
Bah, Giving Linux that much space isn't necessary! Thats why we use linux, it's free, compact, and will never need a gig of space for installing it. Leave the 120GB HD alone, and go buy a 10GB and you'd be just as well, you're just wasting space with linux if you give it that much space.
-
I'm using a total of 7.4gb for Linux, and I have tons of software installed. I'm also using 9.3gb for Windows, and I don't really have anything installed..

I did that. PM raped 30 gigs of music & files, so it can go burn in hell. And the first time I used FDisk and CFDisk, but to no avail.
-
That's why it's FAT32 and has both windata and lindata folders.
-
They were FAT32, bitch. ggnoregodie~
