<DIV>Many things can be done. Easiest being</DIV>
<DIV>Check the BIOS if "Large disk Access Mode:" is set to other </DIV>
<DIV>and not DOS. If W98 is not necessary just</DIV>
<DIV>format the disk and try out Linux. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If RAM is suffucient (128+) Ubuntu 6.06 Live CD will be able </DIV>
<DIV>to easily do it in 30min.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If W98 is required. Then Defrag and try to resize the first partition</DIV>
<DIV>using QTPART in UBUNTU. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Other options are like Clusterix which can cluster your new and old</DIV>
<DIV>M/C. A project worth trying in weekend</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best of luck.</DIV>

<DIV>I purchased a 64bit AMD E mach with XP about 12 mo ago. I decided to see if<BR>Linex would work on my older 32 bit cpu?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I d/l and created the ISO demo disk on the XP cpu. I ran this disk on the<BR>I386 cpu and after many trials was able to review the applications. During<BR>this time--I decided to buy the book with the DVD-disk. This disk appeared<BR>to work ? ver 6.06 at times but I have since given up on it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I tried to use the terminal to partition the C hd. No luck-even using<BR>suggestions from your support site.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>SO WHAT TO DO? After 40 years of using CPU's - we like simple systems. I<BR>could get help ? from friends--but--</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>IF all of this is too difficult-- I can erase the C disk and install linex<BR>only. What is the best solution?? Larry<BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
