- Boot knoppix
- get a console command line window or choose the icon in the Knoppix menu "Root console"
- If you choose "Root console", skip this command and proceed to the next step. type
su -
which will give you root (which is superuser or administrator) access
- If your harddrive is C: and is the first drive on the primary IDE chain, then it is known to linux as /dev/hda. You can now type:
cfdisk /dev/hda
(notice that we are using the more friendly cfdisk command instead of the standard fdisk command.
In cfdisk you can use the arrow and Enter keys to partition the harddrive. If you don't want to make any changes, then you can QUIT and it will not make any changes. If you want to keep the changes you made then must choose WRITE, and it will write the new partition table to the hard drive, then you can quit and reboot the PC and try to install Windows.
I hope this helps.
