I sure appreciate your reply; it is the first one that has made sense. As you can tell by my post, I am a complete newbie at Linux, and I want to learn the OS on my own time, not out of necessity. It turns out I purchased my SuSE from an eBay distributor, not knowing any better. Now that...

Thanks, dsullinger, but a funny thing happened on the way... Both drives already had W2K installed. So with the smaller one (4 gb), I loaded SuSE, the dual boot came up fine. I could use either OS no problem. Now confident, I dropped in the 18 gb, which of course has the working config...

Thanks. I guess that's what YaST did for me. And as I noted in my previous post, both OS ran fine. But based on this success, I have really screwed up the system (same laptop). I installed my main HD and repeated the load steps, but this time changed the configuration to make Windows the...

My desktop - and all files are currently in Win2K. I want to set up so I run SuSE 8.2 - learning Linux and eventually converting my work over. So I experimented with a spare hard drive on my laptop. Loaded Win2K, then started a SuSE load. I was given the option of reducing the size of the...

I want to learn Linux and switch over in my own good time. Currently running a system, the apps, setup and data have migrated Win 3.1->98->2000, the current. I need to keep this (some apps like vpn to the office might not work in Linux, or I wouldn't know how to set up). I own a new copy of...

No! Come to think of it, the first system was an upgrade from 98. Maybe the BIOS doesn't support NTFS..?? Anyway, all is now fine.

Thanks. The purgecache took an hour or so. But when finished, disk usage had dropped from >12 gb to <8 gb. What could have caused this growth in the first place - some error that needs to be corrected? Note that the system is the result of a migration 3.1 -> 98 -> 2000, while the hardware...

Well, a solution was found - but not understood. I formated this 20 gb drive to FAT32 and everything works fine. But I'm almost positive the existing 4 gb drive was formatted NTFS. Big mystery -- ??

I bought a new hard drive for my laptop, and as a first step broke out the media to install OS. Everything runs fine - reformat to NTFS and load Windows 2000 - until system tells me it's going to restart the computer. At that point, I get a message about disk failure and am instructed to press...

The directory winNT/system32/dllcache is collecting large files, named conf.2003-w28 through w37, saved 7/27 through 9/28 and ranging in size to almost 2 gigabytes. All together, WinNT is 6 gigabytes, equal to all other directories on c: combined. I notice my machine at work, also Win2K...

My sharing question is less technical, I think. Both machines are W2K. Sharing printer from my computer. Added the network printer from wife's computer, as Administrator. But since there are different accounts, I assume she should work under as another account, rather than Administrator...
