Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and to slackware. I've been trying to install it on my Dell Latitude D630 as part of a multiboot, but it's not finding the unpartioned space I've left for it with windows manager. I'm wondering if if it can't see the hard drive at all. Has anyone else encountered this problem before?
You can find out what your partition setup is by booting from just about any Live CD version of Linux: Open a terminal, and enter "fdisk -l" (ell, not one)
BUT: I would advise anyone starting out to get the GParted bootable CD. This tool does re-sizing of NTFS partitions as well as all of the normal partitioning tasks.
