-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Linux and Windows ??

When you add/remove drives the drive letters change in windows, this 
will usually cause problems with windows and or windows programs.

Depending on how you partition the 2nd physical hard drive, it will 
either be D: or F in your system.
If you want it to be D: then create 1 primary partition on it.
If you want it to be F: then create one extended primary partition on it 
and create 1 logical drive in that.

Both drives will have to be installed / connected when you do the 
install of linux, and it sounds like your windows drive is now messed up 
so you might have to install that over again, if that's the case do it 
first, then do the linux install.

It's VERY Important that you understand how windows assigns drive letters.
