| Quote (cbagger01 @ Sep. 23 2004,12:20) | What version of DSL are you using?
There was a problem with fdisk in some of the DSL 0.7.x versions.
My advice is to do this:
Boot DSL version 0.8.x
Open an xterminal and type:
sudo su
cfdisk
Delete your old hda5,hda6,hda7, and hda8 and create the following parititions:
hda5 BOOTABLE linux TYPE 83 1200MB (doesn't need to be exactly 1200)
hda6 linux swap TYPE 82 256MB (doesn't need to be exactly 256)
Write the new partition table and exit the program.
Then open up the Right-Click Fluxbox menu and choose Apps > Tools > Install to Hard Drive
and use hda5 as your installation destination.
Good Luck. |
i followed these commands, except that i also had hda1 with windows xp on it, which i left as bootable (so hda5 was not bootable).
now, when my computer boots to GRUB, i no longer see a choice for windows and i really need my windows partition. how can i get the windows option to show during the GRUB loader?

I got it installed!! Did the copy to /ramdisk/home/dsl . Then typed /ramdisk/home/dsl/dsl-hdinstall , hda5 & BINGO. I tried to cancel out the 83 lines with no luck, so I deleted all of them. Install lilo & rebooted. Had a boo-boo with the login, root & password. I'll try to correct it. If not?? I'll reformat the drive & try again. I had to install 's' standard. The enhanced gave me the following lines:
