I read the article and it's written for 2 hard drives, I only have one. So I understand that I need to use PartitionMagic and make space as unallocated for Linux. Then at some point Linux is going to ask me whether I want to partition Automatically or manually. If on auto and 1 hard drive which one do you select? Is it "Keep all Partitions and select existing free space"?

Thanks.

Uddate,

Ok I was able to install Linux and have Grub working. Linux begins to boot and then at some point the graphics go bersek and stay like that. I figure it may something to do with the NVidia GeForce FX(Generic) I chose. This laptop is a DELL 8600 with a NVidia GeForce FX Go5200 adapter.'

I don't have a boot disk other than the CD since this laptop doesn't have a floppy.

How can I revover?

Update,
I am able to go to linux rescue and go to /mnt/sysimage or chroot /mnt/sysimage, but then I'm dead in the water.

Update,
Ufff, I feel like I'm beginning to learn command prompts again. I was able to go to /var/log/XFree86 and find after using cat command that I have "NV" and furthermore that it says "hsync out of range" and "widtht too large for virtual size".

Do I need to install the NVidia Drivers. Is there a guide that shows what commands you need to use that is easy to follow, or is there something else I need to do?

Thanks.
