Hi,
I have been trying to run a dual boot with XP and FC2. I think I
finally know what I need to do to get around the boot problems with
XP. I am making a CD of Knoppix to boot from. How do I know if I
need to shrink my windows partition, and how small do I make it? I
have a 160Gb hard drive and I want 60 windows, 100 FC2. After this I
can just find out what my cyl. heads, etc are from knoppix and run the
install normally. Then enter those numbers at a command line right?
I just want to make sure that I am not missing any steps cause I have
been reading 100 differnt ways to do it and I am getting confused.
I don't know about resizing - but if I were you, I'd make a sizeable vfat (fat32) partition as well, it really simplifies transfering files between the two OS's.
For resizing - I highly suggest you use Partition Magic - there may be other tools that can do it as well, but it is the best - don't mess with resizing an ntfs partition from Knoppix (if that's even possible) - really.
