Intalling on a 17gig hard drive
LockedI have mandrake 6.0 and I am trying to upgrade my hard drive to a 17gig. The installation goes fine and all looks well. When it is finnished and reboots it makes it to about the building rpm’s says ok then boom. Something about proccess to quickly and then locks. I did manage to get it going with no network and some dir missing. I think the problem is the computer’s 300amd 64 ram bios is to old. It may think its a 8gig drive so linux is writting over the dir it installs. I just want to get someinput before I go hacking up this drive. Its just strange that everything installs fine but boots with everything missing. Ohh one more thing when I or if I split up this drive do I use fdisk? It seems that when I have done that in the past I had todelete them in linux because it said no room to install. They were dos partitions. I really thought when you were makeing the partitions in linux that was what you were doing spliting up the drive..humm Thanks
