This is more than 4, so you'll need to create an extended partition. You'll need one NTFS/FAT32 partition, three linux partitions with code 83, and one Linux swap partition (82). There are some guides and FAQs out there on how to do this and go into more detail than I can.įirst you use a live/rescue cd to partition your drive. Personally, I find the NT Boot Loader acceptable and easier to install. The problem comes from the fact that XP really wants to be the first or second partition, which means there's a chance (if your computer's BIOS is old enough) that the Linux kernel cannot load on the 3rd, 4th or 5th partition. Generally with XP, you need to use the NT Boot Loader or grub. I want to have Win XP, Fedora and slackware in my PC (80 GB ).
Do i need to try without installing LILO from slack and go with the bootloader provided by fedora?
And i do not find any issues in the slackware installation media also.īoth the times i have installed the LILO which was provided with slackware. But i do not know what part of slackware i am missing with. Because, when i try to read the partition tables with some rescue disks, i can see it well. I do not know what to do at this scenario. When i completed installation successfully, again i faced the same error "Invalid Partition Table". ANd then alloted the space as previous for the slackware installation. And this time, first i installed Fedora 10. I cursed myself for not reading all the documents and help for the slackware installation and wiped the whole disk ( i had no important datas ). After installation, the system starts with an error "Invalid Partition Table". During my installation i encountered no issues. Now i allotted 15 GB ( SWAP + / + /home/usr ). I already had Windows XP and fedora in my 80 GB SATA disk. I wanted to try with slackware this time.
After working with my loveable FEDORA 10 for months, i found it a bit slower.
