Now that I have a CLEAN install of VISTA my Office Enterprise problem seems to be solved and the entire system is working noticibly better than it did out of the box. I was wondering if there was worthwhile performance improvements in having the partition sizes more in keeping with the space I am using.

My specialty was re-doing the partition tables after a system crash... without losing data. One option I would like to see is when you are in the disk partitioning install screens, you can elect to write the partition map without reformatting the drive. There were times when I was doing the repair of my system

Moving from W2k to XP with a Big HD
Recently bought Partition Commander so I could partition my drives. Part of the installation process involves rebooting to update system files. My computer never makes it through the update process -- it always locks up. Always. I can't figure out what's wrong. Upon a recommendation in an earlier post,

System restore process takes a long time
I know a little bit about it, but what would you guys recommend for partitioning on a 2gb drive? Will my current 486 recognize this HDD? (I do believe it is only DOS that wouldnt be able to see it) Also, I plan on having 16-32megs of ram on the board from 2 72pin sticks. (maybe another 2-4 from 32 pin) Any

Partitioning and installing
Make C: as trim as possible so your ghost images are limited to your install base and OS. Most data files do not need to be imaged but rather backed up to another file system (eg another disk drive, DVD, etc.) Size the OS partition just large enough to accomodate this plus a little growth.

Partitioning for new RH 5.2 install
You get the CD and try to install. BSD won't recognize your CD because it is an IDE CD, not a SCSI CD. You ask when they will have IDE CD support. The answer they give is that because drives don't give the real geometry any more, partitioning programs and BIOS code often make up a geometry of convenience,

Bug#465737: Can't mount XFS partition on "/"
Apparently the install is successful despite the lockup. I rebooted to find that indeed it was. Then I did the partitioning with no probs. A boot-disk to do the partitioning is also successful (did it on a friend's twin of my machine). http://www.v-com.com/support/faqWinMe_install.html "Marcus Kitos"

MKD-10.0 install problems when doing customs partitioning
If you weren't going to install a boot manager then it wouldn't matter at all. I don't think I'm worried about DOS compatiblity, since all the M$ world lives on a separate drive. The drive in question will be all FreeBSD plus a FreeBSD boot manager to get to the M$ Win 95 OS on the second drive.

Howerver, this will not remove that partition. Just (after deleting) right-click on it and click on new. I think you can do the rest.

Update Mandrake 2007 to 2008
The trouble is that the partitioning screen (in Mandriva 2008.0 install procedure) does not have an option for "Linux RAID" as a partition type. I don't have the beta, but I'm assuming it uses diskdrake. After you create the partition, before you format it, ensure you're in advanced mode, change the type,

Too many hands in the Linux pot oops? <smile>
The installation works perfectly but when I reboot after the installation the computer is unable to mount the root partition. Resulting in (initramfs) prompt which I don't know how to use. I have installed tens of Debian computers but this has never happened. I tried both the stable and testing installer.

Honest opinions please. BTW this is Linux related.
I would expect SuSe to have an installation routine that includes tools for partitioning your hard disc(s) easily; most 'big' distros do. You then install SuSe with it's boot loader (LiLo or Grub, probably) in the SuSe / or /boot partition not in the MBR (that instruction will make more sense after you've

You can install NT on either Drive D or Drive E in the extended Dos partition. If using win NT 4.0 that assumes that those partitions and C is formatted using FAT16. 2. What will happen when you do that is the following: NT will install its boot manager on the C drive and provide you and option of booting either NT
