INSTALL PROBLEMS ON W98- i386, 20gb and 10 gb hard disks.

[YAGNESH N DESAI]

Many things can be done. Easiest being
Check the BIOS if "Large disk Access Mode:" is set to other 
and not DOS. If W98 is not necessary just
format the disk and try out Linux. 
 
If RAM is suffucient (128+) Ubuntu 6.06 Live CD will be able 
to easily do it in 30min.
 
If W98 is required. Then Defrag and try to resize the first partition
using QTPART in UBUNTU. 
 
Other options are like Clusterix which can cluster your new and old
M/C. A project worth trying in weekend
 
Best of luck.

I purchased a 64bit AMD E mach with XP about 12 mo ago. I decided to see if
Linex would work on my older 32 bit cpu?
 
I d/l and created the ISO demo disk on the XP cpu. I ran this disk  on the
I386 cpu and after many trials was able to review the applications. During
this time--I decided to buy the book with the DVD-disk. This disk appeared
to work ? ver 6.06 at times but I have since given up on it.
 
I tried to use the terminal to partition the C hd. No luck-even using
suggestions from your support site.
 
SO WHAT TO DO? After 40 years of using CPU's - we like simple systems. I
could get help ? from friends--but--
 
IF all of this is too difficult-- I can erase the C disk and install linex
only. What is the best solution??  Larry
