| 529593 | 2007-03-03 05:18:00 | I see that Belarc doesn't recognise the Linux (ext3) partitions on my computer. I'm quite disappointed. | rumpty (2863) | ||
| 529594 | 2007-03-03 05:29:00 | TY both Jen, Graham, beama and TGoddard . . . I will get that error mssg asap . The QTPart only showed three drives . . . one of them was not the actual optical on which the distro was mounted for the Live or Install . It had hda, hdb, hdc . . . and it wasn't clear . . because when I clicked on the hdc or optical, the other optical drive drawer snapped open and closed again real fast . We have two opticals (cd-rw, cd-rom), two hdds (1-40g; 1-200g) and a flop on this box . Right after that . . I got two error messages, one said something had failed, and the other had a long list of stuff that for the life of me I could not copy/paste anywhere as I didn't have any sort of system running yet, although I could highlight it well enough . . . . just couldn't do anything with it from there . I assume that it only saw hda as my NT boot or systems partition, and NT calls that one C Drive . Hdb had to be the 200g, but Linux only saw it as one big partition/drive and I know it has three partitions . NOW . . . when I got back to XP and the manager I saw that 18 . 2g had been set aside for (something?) Linux maybe? . . . . as this 18 . 2 was now out of the lineup but it said it was HEALTHY . That 18 . 2 partition was out of normal as I didn't think anything had happened yet to accomplish that . The C drive was listed as SYSTEM in the NT Manager, so I can assume it IS the NT boot area drive . . . . right? I will try again soon . . but right this moment, I have come off the mountain (Chihuahua Valley) and am back in San Jacinto . . about 56 miles away . Next visit . . on next Friday (Sat to you) I get to try it all again . It's nice to have this sort of support from youse guys . . thanks again . . and watch this space . . . we will open this again . . . unless some miracle happens and it goes right next time . Gonna go cipher some Hieroglyphics now . . . . Chinese Algebra is easy compared to this . |

| 529595 | 2007-03-03 06:29:00 | Have you decided on Jen's Sorry-I-got-your-name-confused-with-that-other-woman-present yet? Chokkies are nice. |

| 529596 | 2007-03-04 01:19:00 | But which one gets the chocolates? Perhaps to be safe Joe should make amends to both. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 529597 | 2007-03-04 01:28:00 | No, Jen deserves the prezzie. I got the flattery. (Still preening myself over being named a Linux expert) |

| 529598 | 2007-03-04 04:00:00 | Take a screenshot of what QTParted is showing for your drives. In KDE if you go ALT-F2 and enter in ksnapshot it will open a screenshot application. | Jen (38) | ||
| 529599 | 2007-03-04 04:17:00 | Take a screenshot of what QTParted is showing for your drives . In KDE if you go ALT-F2 and enter in ksnapshot it will open a screenshot application . Even if I haven't gotten the distro installed? I'll try that . . but I'll also have my new handy Kodak cam with me next time too to take a real pix!~ . . . then again, there's always paper and pencil . . :dogeye: (I didn't want to slight anyone by name or accident . . . . I just had part-timer's disease again . . . a little like all-timer's, but half as bad . I have passed some-timer's disease already) :badpc: |

| 529600 | 2007-03-04 04:21:00 | It doesn't matter if you are just running from a LiveCD. Take the snapshot and save it to the desktop (gets held in memory). Then upload it to ImageF1. | Jen (38) | ||
