Need to partiton, don't know how to boot into dos with XP
I want to install Red Hat 7.3 on my IBM Thinkpad, but there's no floppy drive! I need to boot into dos to partition my HDD with FIPS, but I can't remember how to do it, and I have hardly any XP experience, is it even possible to boot to a dos prompt?? If so, how?? Your help would be greatly, and I mean greatly appreciated!

Can you boot from a CD? :confused:
|
In w2k if you press F8 during startup you can choose to go to command prompt, it might be something similar in XP.
|
yes, I can boot from my Red Hat Instal CD, but partitioning fails.

Hi,
U could try and get your hands on a program called partition magic. http://www.powerquest.com/partitionmagic/ with that program u can partition your drive without losing data and it is XP compatible. another programm with a free demo version http://www.partition-manager.com/n_pm_main.htm |
I had to bend over and take the pounding for Partition Magic, but hell, it worked great.
