Hi everyone!
I've been having trouble all day with installing Linux on a machine that already has Windows XP. I was using grub as the bootloader and it kept giving me Error 17.
I think it has something to do with the way I'm partitioning my drives.
This is my initial table:
Quote:
IDE1 Master (hda) - 160.0 GB
#1 primary 160.0 GB (BOOT) (NTFS) - /media/hda1
IDE2 Slave (hdb) - 200.0 GB
#1 primary 40.8 GB (NTFS) - /media/hdb1
#5 logical 139.7 GB (NTFS) - /media/hdb5
pri/log 19.5 GB FREE SPACE
SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) - 200.0 GB
#1 primary 200.0 GB (NTFS) - /media/sda1

This is what I was trying to use:
Quote:
IDE1 Master (hda) - 160.0 GB
#1 primary 160.0 GB (BOOT) (NTFS) - /media/hda1
IDE2 Slave (hdb) - 200.0 GB
#1 primary 40.8 GB (NTFS) - /media/hdb1
#5 logical 139.7 GB (NTFS) - /media/hdb5
#6 logical 830.7 MB (SWAP) - swap
#3 primary 18.7 GB (BOOT) (EXT3) - /
SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) - 200.0 GB
#1 primary 200.0 GB (NTFS) - /media/sda1

Since I'm a newbie, I think I'm doing it TOTALLY wrong. I was wondering if anyone could give me advice.
Thanks so much!
