Hi guys,
I got the partitions sorted out thanks to your help and Linucx installed
but again BootMagic doesn't recognise an OS on that drive.
I chose not to install a boot loader from linux but stick with BootMagic.
My hd looks like:
primary c: 5GB
ext. log. /boot 40MB
ext3 / (Linux on it) 4GB
Linux swap 370MB
ext. logical d: 10GB
I don't know why but Redhat made the main partition ext3 whereas
Partition Magic 7 had previsouly made it ext2. Is there a difference?
Shall i just forget BootMagic and use Grub or lilo or wouldn't it work
on one of them either?
Thanks again,
Martin
