HD Install :: installing on a second hdd
Hi just downloaded it and looks great.
Few questions though. I have windows XP on my primary slave, and ubuntu linus on my primary master. which i choose through bios to save hassle with grub.
I want to get rid of ubuntu and try out this one for a while.
When i go to the install to hdd tool it asks me for the partition to install to, but how can i simply tell it to use all of the primary master disk, and not to a partition? Also im not familiar with the linux terminology but i would guess the primary partition of a primary master would be hda0 is this correct because i dont want it to do anything to my primary slave drive containing w.XP
I think you're going to have to give it a partition. If you want the whole drive, then I would set up the entire drive as one partition. Depending on the amount of RAM that you have , you may be better off with some swap space on the drive also.
