bootmagic help?

Question

im trying to make another partition on my 100 gig hard drive and i was wondering step by step how to make another partition for my linux OS cant seem to get it to work???

Answer 1

ok
u have to get a partitioning tool like partition magic
jsut allocate the size of the partition and create it as a .ext3 partition
and restart and let partition magic create the partition
once that is done
booot in using the Linux OS cd and choose custom install and install in your new .ext3 partition
u will also have to create a boot partition(/) and a swap space(which usuall twice the size of ur ram )
hope this helps
