Then I installed Slackware 10.0.0 to the remaining hard drive portion. /dev/hda1 NTFS Windows XP home /dev/hda2 swap /dev/hda3 / Slackware "I rewrote my ntfs partition with cfdisk and now I am unable to boot the partition (with windows xp)."

I have no knowledge of "System Mechanic 6". :-| HTH, Chuck - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
