- Thanks to all contributors to this thread which is a timely one for me as
I've got a new, unformatted 60G HD in my thinkpad now after the last one died. I am on the waiting list for a UEA copy of XP, which I think I need to install first, so have a few days to choose between Sarge and (K)Ubuntu. BTW, just to make the purists cringe, my plan is to put on XP then shrink the NTFS partition down and add ext3 ones for / and /home plus swap using Partition Magic.
Why not define the NTFS partition with the Debian installer? The one with Woody (once sussed) allowed for a screenful and a half of different formats.
