After looking at LINUX HOWTO & from some advice from ANANDTECH guys , i came to know that there is some linux problem on something above 8GB hdd. The HOWTO 's solution is confusing as(FROM HOWTO)
-->
"This problem is very easily solved: make sure that the kernel (and perhaps other files used during bootup, such as LILO map files) are located on a partition that is entirely contained in the first 1024 cylinders of a disk that the BIOS can access - probably this means the first or second disk. "
...
Could anyone point me exactly what it means & or simply tell me the HDD partition i can keep.
Current STATUS--->
7Gb FAT32 ACTIVE
9.77Gb FAT32 ..
something around 2.xxGB remains free for LINUX.
Please tell me the linux partitions to make.
