Mandrake 7.2 Installation
Hi all,
I'm waiting (impatiently) for the Mandrake 9.0 CD's to arrive. I have scored Man 7.2 and wish to meet the Penguin straight away. So, I changed my BIOS to boot from CD and got underway but it only picked up my Windows hard drives (seperate physical drives). I have a third hard drive ready for the Penguin to occupy. XP formatted it as two X 37GB drives, so effectively there are four partitions in my box. How do I get Mandrake to bypass the Windows drives (C:\ & D:\) and install itself onto E:\?
Regards
