I expect so. I've never been faced with this problem, as I only have one hard disk.RubiksMaster said:So you think that maybe the /boot partition is on the wrong drive? I have plenty of space on that drive. I guess I'll try that a little later. So when I'm in the setup, and it asks me which drives I want it installed on, I assume I have to check both hda and hdb?
Should be fine on hdb. The swap partition is just reserved for virtual memory; I only mentioned it because you seemed to imply you only had one Linux partition.Can the swap partition go on hdb along with linux, or does it have to go on hda?
Not really sure, but if you have a Pentium 4 era machine you should be safe.What's considered an old BIOS?
Perhaps Mandriva will be easier to install. Mandriva does have a very user-friendly installer. Hell, even I could use it.RubiksMaster said:Maybe I should just switch to Mandriva or something?
Man, how fast is your download speed? It must be really fast if you're willing to download those huge-o files.RubiksMaster said:I'm downloading the Mandriva 2006 ISOs as we speak!
Thankya.RubiksMaster said:Sure, I can give you a copy after I downloaded the right thing.
Installation of bootlaoder failed. the following error occured:
in partition_table::dos=HASH(0x92f0d68)
partition_table::dos=HASH(0x92bdf90)
partition_table::dos=HASH(0x9248260).
this might have something to do with your nat router or ethernet cardRubiksMaster said:There is one problem however. When I load into linux, it asks me to log into localhost, which is weird because I'm not trying to do anything with a network.
