    Installing Knoppix on One Windows Partitioned Hard Drive

    Hey, I just posted this in the HDD Install Forum but I thiink it might be better served here:

    I'm running Windows 2000 and Windows recognizes that my single hard drive is partitioned into C and D. D is completely unformatted with nothing on it. However, there is only one physical drive, I originally did the partitioning during the Windows 2000 installation.

    How can I install Knoppix to the D drive? I don't want to wipe away my C drive but it didn't allow a D to be selected when it came to the hard drive selection.

    Also, I think I accidently clicked Okay when I was pressing quit and it said that my C disc was Read - Only and I didn't have the permissions.

    Can anyone help?

    create 2 partitions in D:
    one ext3 partition 5GB or more
    one swap partition 1GB or less (128MB minimum)

    I like Norton Ghost for this job but in knoppix CD there is qtparted tool

    but in your answer there is not a word about MS Windows tools for partitioning ( Ghost, Paragon Manager etc)
    why?

    The Windows partitioning tools can only make blank partitions & can not format a partition for Linux.
    The knoppix installer will automatically start qtparted to partition the HD.
    Reading the HD Install HowTo and watching a flash video is very educational & explains the need for not just 1 partition but 2 partitions.

    You provided no help to this user and instead have wasted time to critque me.
    Usted es demasiado divertido.

    .
    ¿are you kidding or is something worse?

    ...but I am wrong too... I am talking about Partition Manager or Paragon Manager (btw there is a linux version of Paragon Manager too)
    Ghost is for backup as almost everybody knows including me...
