RE: [LI] Partitioning : No free primary

["Karthik DK" <karthikd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!!

I am not saying that ur partition must be lesser than 4gb. well, actually i
have not tried that. but all i know is that it must( the partition) start
within the first four gb. about the 'no free primary' im not sure. actually,
i'm a bit busy and do not have that much of time to really experiment with
installation of linux.

Hope this helps.

KAR.

THANKS KAR, this might be the problem. Still...

1. I am unable to understand what the meaning of 'No free primary' is? I
mean, what the hell is happening here????

2. Yes, the partition I allocated to Linux [space, whatever] was
slightly more than 4 GB. Should I reduce it? [According to you?]
