Ok I have a knoppix bootable cd and im just about to wipe my computer and start over (messy comp lol) and thought about dual booting between knoppix (on hard disk) and windows.
But i've never dual booted before and have a few questions.
My system is:
AMD64 3000+ @ 2.0Ghz (Stock)
MSI K8N Neo Platinum Motherboard
Crucial 512MB RAM PC3200
Seagate IDE 80Gb Hard Disk
Sony DVD/CDRW Combo
Raedon 9800 Non-Pro 128Mb Graphics Card.
Intel Modem
I have the 3.6 linux bootable cd and an unattended setup integrated sp2 xp pro cd.
1. Im going to completly start again so what would be better to install first? Windows or Knoppix?
2. You need three partitions for linux? Os, Swap, Storage?
3. I have a single 80GB drive so how much space should i give to each partition?
4. When running knoppix from the cd it complain about my sound card being unknown and i get no sound. Its an integrated sound card on the mobo (AC 97) should i look for drivers on their site?
5. It always complain about unknown graphics card but i still get a display. should i look for drivers for this also?
6. Is there a good tutoiral or walkthough for what i want to do? :D
Thanks Alot
