Hi,

I'm trying to install Mandrake Linux just so I can play around with it. Anyway, I want to do a dual-boot with WinME. I have the WinME partition and in the Linux install I let it take some space from the Windows partition and break it up into the root, swap, and home partitions. It seems to do this fine, but then when it tries to proceed further I get a error message saying "An error has occured no hdlist available," or something to that extent -- it has something to do with the hdlist. I have no idea what this means, and hence no idea how to fix it, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

did you have free HD space before hand? as I remember mandrake 8.1 won't let you resize windows partitions?
