You can't put ntfs/fat32 on the same partition as linux. On the same harddrive, of course you can do that. There's even a dool boot howto on tldp.org. Not entirely relevant but some very good info. Backup your data first. Follow what your distro says in its installation guide for partitioning and partitioning of multi-boot systems. Some claim they can resize native ntfs/fat partitions. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Laura Eaves" <leaves1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <fleytin at yandex.ru>; "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2005 9:54 PM Subject: misc linux questions -- was: Re: A easier way to create cd's usingeasy cd creator > Hi all -- > With all the discussion of CD burning being so difficult on linux, has > anyone successfully burned a DVD? > I just purchased a pc with a DVD burner and hope to put linux on it, and it > would be nice if I could use the DVD burner -- not necessarily to copy > movies, but to store other things. > Just curious.
