iphitus Posted July 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Well here's what I did. I was going to use Part Magic but i didn't need to. Everything was backed up to a USB 40gb hdd. Inserted XP disc in drive, booted from it and I was very surprised that it offered to maker partitions. So i used its partition maker, one NTFS and left the last 10gb empty. Windows installed fine and i up and working. Next Mandrake. I installed 9.1 in the end. Everything works sweet EXCEPT USB, winmodem (what do i expect? lol) and he's a little short in the software department. None of the USB works at all. His USB mouse didn't even work during the install so we moved it into PS/2. So he can't print or scan. Internet? I'll probably lend him my old external modem. Software? I'm downloading HEAPs of RPMs (and *groan* deps) for him. He has a burner which I haven't tested yet. As with the DVD I'm starting a new thread for the USB. I think it's because his Mobo is a pretty recent MSI with USB2. He's joining here soon too. Thanks! James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
