Hi Joe, Some more details... I had Windows 98 installed, resized the partition with FIPS (~8GB for Windows and ~31 for Psyche) then ran scandisk with Windows 98, everything went OK. I then started installing the Psyche and using diskdruid deleted the ~31 GB partition and created the / , /boot and swap partition in the ~31GB free space I had (Now I have some ~30GB) The problem was trying to create the additional /usr/ and usr/local partition with the DiskDruid... I think it should work as I did that in another machine, a P4 with 80GB and also dual boot with Windows (that is running pretty well !). I actually have seen the /usr/ and /usr/local/ directories under / but I supposed that is the default installation of the server version... should I, maybe re-install and allow all the remaining space (the ~30GB) to the / partition ?
