There seem to be 3 partitions on the Dell XP HD (which leaves me
only one bootable partition I can add)
I assume one is system backup somehow, and the other is hardware
diagnostics. The latter is handy (helped a lot with a bad 1gb
memory chip) so I'd like to keep it; can I make the system restore
an indirect partition somehow and use its slot in the MBR instead for
linux?
I think I want 2 partitions for linux OS and my data, so am one
short as things stand is I use the last partition as an indirect one.
(project is to turn 3 $399 Inspiron 2200's into linux number crunchers
but retain XP to communicate with the world)
