Windows XP partition changes for RH install

jmbarry · 12-23-2001, 05:12 AM

I just bought an HP zu1175 with Windows XP installed. I want to install Red Hat, but I can't figure out how to partition some of the 20 meg hard drive space off from the native NFTS/HPFS to a FAT partition with Disk Druid.

Is there a trick in Windows XP to change 10 gigs of my NFTS/HPFS hard drive to a FAT (or otherwise acceptable) partition that I can install Red Hat on?

Thanks for any pointers.

but you don't need a fat partition to install linux, it uses it's own, vastly better file system. just chop your ntfs partition in half with whatever can do that (fips? presizer?) and install...
