Linux newbie .. Having trouble installing

Post by erupt »

(Hence why i'm a newbie)

I just formatted one of my machines (desktop) and setup clean with Windows XP Pro. I setup 2 partitions with my hard drive, one partition to have XP Pro and i wanted to throw Linux on the second partition. Well, i'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong or not but I can't get Mandriva Linux to install on my other partition. I'm in the install setup and all that jazz, but i can't get past the part where it asks me to mount. :evil: I mounted on the second partition but I'm not sure where to proceed next.

I know it's a tough question cuz it's difficult to do it without the actual setup in front of you ... but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Solved for the time being :D I couldn't have a ''dual-install'' with windows and linux at the same time so i just formatted again and put linux on it.
Gonna go play for a little bit.
