Now my question is I currently have a C: = drive which is my hard drive a D: drive which is a system save and an E: = drive which is my cd rom drive the total hard drive space I have is = 15gb and so far it is divided up something like 4gb for the D:drive and = the remainder in the C: drive. I took C:down by 4gb and created a Linux = and a Linux swap, I had no problems doing this and it shows up as a = Linux partition on the Partition Magic main screen, but when I look at = my hard drive thru fdisk the Linux space I created for the Unix OS is = under the Extended Partition. Is this correctly done. if so where = should I go from here, should I install any files for running the Unix = OS in the windows partition and if not what is my problem, and is there = any info on doing this in a little easier terms than the 800 page manual = that comes with the OS. Any response greatly appreciated. =20 Brian ------=_NextPart_000_0028_01C07CC6.904E6700 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.50.4134.100" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#000000 size=3D2>I had question I want = to install=20 freebsd 4.0 on my computer so I purchased Partition Magic 5.0.
