by Here Generic IDE FAT32 6.4GB hard drive.
Fips README txt advises run diskscan>Defrag>diskscan then uninstall windows
swap file.
Question. Given Win swap file is WIN386.SWP [Correct me if I am wrong
please} this file cannot be uninstalled or removed only disabled as
follows..control panel>systems>Performance Tab>virtual memory button then
Disable Virtual memory.
Trying to run scandisk with virtual memory disabled results in windows
winging there is not enough memory. Attempting to run defrag with virtual
memory disabled results in the system freezing after several hours.
Attempting to run FIPS to create space (Standard install) for Linux results
in the error message 'unknown file system 0CH only DOS partitions can be
split [system indicator byte must be 4 or 6].
I assume my FAT32 system and LBA logical block addressing is creating
problems ?????
Reluctant to install a second hard disk just for Linux or purchase a
commercial product such as partition magic as there must be some way round
this ???????
Your comments/advice would be much appreciated..
