Hi, Timothy
I don't know if after FC2 changing the geometry parameters of a
HD you could simply reinstall XP without losses at least of the
previous FC2 installation according the suggestion below. You should
have to fix the geometry according the article following the above link,
if necessary, using FC2, so you must have FC2 installed and at least
permiting sfdisk and cat.(By the way, on the article they should state
that it is not necessary always to edit the comments generated by
sfdisk. sfdisk may or may not generate them, depending on your specific
disk configuration). To the extent I know, FC2 should be installed (we
are talking about the same drive of course, this point doesn't apply if
we have separate HDs) after XP, since XP installation may interfere
with Linux installed on the same drive.
In any way, I've bittorrented FC2 to make a hard drive installation and
try to see if I can have FC2 in this AMD XP 2400. Until now I've FC1
standalone in a (slow) Pentium IV with 128 MB rambus memory and
Conectiva 9 in a AMD Duron 512 MB on my private network
The FC1 intallation ont this computer is gone and I cannot find out a
way to reinstall it
... :-(
Regards
Daniel
