185006	2003-10-22 04:41:00	Another question. I am wanting linux on another partition, so I just did one partition, and left the rest. When I format after, do I just format c: , or do I have to format the rest of it as well?	mejobloggs (264)

Did you ensure that the partition you created was less than the size of your hard disk? For example, if you have a 10GB hard disk you should have made a partition of around 7GB and left the remaining space, not create another partition. > When I format after, do I just format c: , or do I have to format the rest of it as well? Yes, just format the partition that Windows will be installed on as Linux will partition and format the remaining hard disk space for you upon installation.	tommy (2826)

I just cant get windows running though. 95b screws up somewhere in the installation, when it checks for plug and play devices. I dont have the product key for windows 3.11, and I dont have DOS. Hmmmmmmm. There was a few things that wont run on Linux, like all my old games.	mejobloggs (264)
