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~
