This is my complete query Please read it.
I faced a problem when I loaded it yesterday
I have two Hard disk drives (HDD) they are ,
1. 8.1 GB Hard disk drive
2. 20.1 GB Hard disk drive.
I have Windows XP PRO loaded on the smaller one which is 8 GB in size.
Now what I want to do is to load the Linux OS on the 20 GB hard disk drive after manually partitioning it in DOS.
I tried doing so.
I made 2 partitions one of 6 GB and the other of 14 GB.
I tried loading the Ubuntu CD on the 6GB partiton but I could not succeed. I repeatedly got errors . ( this was done selecting the manual partition method )
Then I tried the auto partition method where I could load it successfully .
But in this method I have to sacrifice the 14 gb which I dont think I will ever use in the Linux OS.
So can Anybody please tell me how to load the OS onto the smaller partition on 6 GB using the manual partition method.
I would be gratefull if you could please tell me the exact steps.
Also was I correct when I made 2 partitions of 6gb and 14 gb .
Thanking you for your time.
