I've been
transfering WIN programs and datafrom the "C" drive to the dual-booted (I guess that's were it is) 80 gig "D" drive, in hopes of opening some "space" for the AVG package to work better and have space for the "software's aV, Anti-Spam, and anti-malware program updates to be downloaded and work.
As of now, when I go to My Computer and click on the "C" drive, it tells me I have less than 136 kb of storage on a 38 (40) gig drive.
If I could delete the Linux partition and remove the dual-boot sector on the 80 gig, that would allow me to maybe move the WIN 2K PRO O/S to the 80 Gig and leave the 40 gig to be reformatted into a large LINUX drive, with a yet-to-be-determined distro.
You have to forgive me, not only am I a
, but I'm nearly 61 years old with moderate dementia, so it's hard for me to understand things I readily could have when I was younger. I grew up in Commodore 64, switched to DOS 5.0, then 6.22 which I really enjoyed. I really wasn't a WINBLOW$ fan, until 2K Pro, but now wish to move on with a version of Linux that's easy to install, understand and will do what I need it too.
I'm a Ham Radio operator and radio scanner monitoring fan. I like
logging all my contacts, so I would need a small, but searchable database that pulls up contacts by callsign. I also enjoy viewing pictures of nature, animals, weather, and space pictures and would like a program that enables me to view them as a slide presentation (with music) or individual pictures. I love music of most all kinds, except Rap and Metal, to me that's just
noise, LOL! It would be nice to have a music MP3 player, similar to WINAMP that would allow me to play music in playlist. I love everything from Classical, Opera, some Jazz, Military (the War of Northern Agression, WW2 [all sides] National anthems of different countries), Polka's, Waltz's, Old Rock-N-Roll, Country and Western, Cowboy music, Celtic, Religious, Native American, Bluegrass, etc. You get the idea.
Well, now you know a little MORE about me than you probably cared to know.
I don't have linux on the 40 gig drive so I don't think those
instructions, line commands would work. Any other ideas? I really DON'T want to reformat BOTH drives and start over as some of my databases for radio, and music are on there.
Maybe I just need to buy a 300 gig hd and try to get it to work with this old IWill K266 Plus, 1.2 gig Athlon with a gig of P-133 RAM.
Thank you for your help so far, I really appreciate your time.
