markpmc - i'm gonna try to reinstall one more time (after you post your comment about what i should do for my partition... when i used partition magic (lost the dics) it was easier for me to set up, but with fdisk i have to type +sizeM or whatever...that confuses me.) before turning off dma like turbotital suggests. right now - "welcome to slackware version 9.1"

One question before we start.

Do you want to dual boot w/ windows?

also, try cfdisk, its is one step closer to partition magic.

markpmc - yes, i know i will need to install windows first... i've heard a lot about slack, and it's not the easiest linux os to install, so i thought i'd "pratice" installing 'til its perfect. which means, i need a lot of help...

This threads gona get lost in all the noise. Email me at nospam.markpmc.geo@yahoo.com.nospam once you've installed windows on the first part of your harddrive. You mentioned partition magic. PM does a great job of creating linux and swpa partitions.
