I'm not sure if I'm messed up here but all advice welcome: I used the WinXP setup CD to delete existing WinXP 32Gb partition, created 2 new 16Gb partitions, then made some spare space at end a new partition too (it may have been 2 new partitions). WinXP installed okay into one of the partitions (didn't create a filesys on the others).
but then it seemed had to change from hda3 to hda6 to boot Debian and then when do gpart/parted it gives a smaller no. of partitions than the XP setup made and has a couple with same starting point (byte? cylinder?).... I then deleted the new partitions (leaving WinXP in the new but smaller partition) but still Debian (eg parted) only sees 3 partitions and two of them start in same place. Sorry for lack of details - will write them down and post later today M -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
