Help with partitioning section of install...


Just one more question.

When installing Mandrake it seems a little bit unclear to me what option to use in the partitioning section of the install if you've got a slave "empty" hard drive to install Mandrake on. XP on the primary. Will it have to be the manual option??

Not sure I understand your question but I'll give it a go.

Select advanced for partitioning, click on the hard drive you want to use for mandrake and you need to create at least a / partition and swap but I'd also recommended at least /home also. Chose the file system you want to use and then mount them. Mandrake should so the rest.
