hi
trying to install debian in a multi-boot install and two failures. over wrote MBR in both cases, deleted partitions and started over. have a computer booting windows xp prof and fedora15, now working again. got to the points in installation to choose did not choose to write to MBR and got other choinces like (hda0,2), and (hda0,5) but got error message that could not write to that device. windows on sda1 extented on sda2 linux swap on sda5 fedora on sda6 and tried debian on sda7 debian partition currently blank but system now working to boot windows and fedora. so at the boot partition point what choices should I make? I know the boot on the fedora went to the MBR and the others subsequent installs the boot has to be in the root of that partition...had centos5 working but decided to investigate debian. successfully installed the centos in the partition and installed the boot in the root of that partition...all worked fine. so is debian different here? the choices I was presented with was as stated above in the format of hdfa rather than sda as it appeared in the install choices. thanks in advance for your help. would like to get some experience with debian and get it working with the multi-boot with windows, fedora, and debian. joe |
