RobotChild Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Yes, you need to install it on a seperate partition though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 can i make a partition witout formating (dynamic disks) Yes, resize the current one and let the Linux installer create new ones from the empty space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakgipc Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 can i use diskmgmt.msc to resize or do i use a program if so what can i use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 There was actualy a thread made advertising a show that showed you how to do this. Although be causes with there way, realy you need to defragment your partion so every thing is right at the start of the partion to recude the chance of data loss to a minimum. I have only ever resized a NTFS partion with gparted once. It took 6 or 7 defragments (and the deletion of some huge files) befor every thing was at the begining of the partion. When we booted windows after the succesfull install it was bitching about errors on the disk, since I knew I had actualy majorly aultered the disk layout, so I thought it best to let it sit there and run it's disk check thing.

Sparda Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 can i use diskmgmt.msc to resize No, if ever there was a shit disk managment tool, thats it. do i use a program if so what can i use Gparted (included with alot of Linux distros) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
degoba Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 well you can but why would you want to install knoppix? Format the drive into two partitions. 1 for windows and the other for linux. Make sure you install windows first though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakgipc Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 y the windows instalation first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lopti Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Deagoba makes a good point. Knoppix, being a live cd is not intended for (though it is possible) hard drive installation. If you like Knoppix you should consider installing Debian or one of its many derivatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingwray Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 As he seems bit of n00b i would suggest he looks at this topic to choose a Linux Distro: http://www.hak5.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1971 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
