Basically all the installers I have ever used has prompted you to (or done it for you) partition your drives. Rewriting the geometry on the drive effective _destroys_ all data. If you boot an install disk and follow the instructions, you will be fine. All else fails bring it to the install fest. There will be lots of geek there "like myself" who would love to help you get it installed. -- Ben Lutgens Work: 612.379.5941 Cell: 651.387.9065 Home: 651.703.9541 Systems Administrator Sistina Software Inc. http://www.globalfilesystem.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
