Well,
I finally got everything working properly *applause*. Here's what I did in
chronological order:
- Created 16M boot partition w/ disk druid.
- Created 9G FAT-32 (LBA) partition w/ Window's Fdisk.
- Installed Windows.
- Created a 127M+ swap partition in the space between the /boot partition and
the Window's partition (NOTE: When creating a FAT32 partition w/ win fdisk, it
leaves a space between the first partition if it was not also created w/ win
fdisk).
- Created a 3-4G / partition after the Windows partition.
- Installed Linux
Now, I only have a few questions remaining:
1) Fdisk says that the Windows partition does not end on cylinder boundaries.
According to Fdisk, the / partition (the partition after my windows
partition), does not overlap, and starts at the adjacent cylinder. Will any
corruption result?
2) My swap partition was allocated to (according to fdisk) use all the
available space between the first and second parts (/boot and FAT32
respectively). Will any corruption result?
Feelin pretty stoked,
Mike M.
