I recently installed win2K and I don't want to take any risks of fscking over my windows partitions trying to install linux again. Thanks for your time.

(I've noticed standard linux distro's don't have it in their kernel) | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 626 Member | | Member Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 626 |

I really don't want that to happen. Thanks again.

Just make sure you have the NTFS OS installed first. | | | | | Joined: May 2002 Posts: 70 UGN Poser | | UGN Poser Joined: May 2002 Posts: 70 | Ah! ok, I see. Thanks for the replies.
