I run win4lln 3 and it's pretty stable. I couldn't run the vanilla source due to some incompatibilities with either the disk controller or my hard drive. Since netraverse offers patches for the redhat kernel. I ended up emerging the redhat sources and applied the win4lin patches on that. Compiled the kernel and had no issues with it since. It's pretty stable, but not as stable as it was b4 I installed Office2000 on it instead of Office97. |

The issue they had was with the creation of a partition. I hardly think that was an ID-10T error, considering.

Say more about that, please... |
I think you wouldn't like to find out what he means by ID-10T error. I don't know for certain but I would guess that (given the tone) it is meant to be translated as: "funny how you blame windows for an obvious idiot error"
I sure hope that I am wrong and ID-10T is some kind of cryptic partition table lingo, or possibly file system type lingo. I'm really guessing though that this post was an unwelcome bash which helps no one.
Please kraylus think of something good to say about what ID-10T is so that we can all play nice. You know you are posting in a thread that a moderator started, don't you??!?!?!?
Peacefully,
BonezTheGoon

Yes, I understood it like this too... I just wanted him to point me where/what this error was. I have no problems with recognizing my own mistakes, as long as I can see them...

Well I really don't appreciate the name calling. How useless and how rude! I can understand posting something to the effect of:
"I think you may have made a silly mistake by overlooking . . . ."
or
"Well there is this one little gotcha here that is kind of in the open that you seem to have missed, oops"
I just don't see any value or use in calling someone an idiot in a forum. When I am in a situation that I know I put myself in I don't need someone to tell me that I did something stupid, I already know that I likely did something really dumb. I do appreciate suggestions and corrections as well (lord knows that's how I tend to learn best) but I don't appreciate the name calling. (Call me a cry-baby I guess)
Regards,
BonezTheGoon

I'll assume by your listing that you jhave 3 primary partitions and that you stuck hda5->hda8 on the extended hda4...
What kind of filesystem did you format your partitions?

there's quite a simple explanation why the whole thing didn't work out well:
Extended != Extended
in fact there are two different types of extended partitions: the one that windows creates and the one, which is created by linux. The problem is: Linux CAN use the extended partition from Windows, but Windows can't do the same with the one from Linux. And when Windows doesn't know about a specific thing, it doesn't leave it alone, as Linux would do, no, it gets out of control and tries to destroy everything, which isn't needed by itself. And because it's from Microsoft, it often happens, that it even kills itself.

It's the same partition table. One of my workstations is like this:
hda1: primary, 48 MB, ext3, /boot
hda2: primary, 4 GB, NTFS, Win2k C:
hda3: extended partition
hda5: logical, 1 GB, swap
hda6: 32 GB, FAT32, Win2k D: (so I can shuffle files without using a dangerous driver)
hda7: 38 GB, ReiserFS, /
This was created with fdisk, and both the 2k installed and Windows 2000 were quite happy with it. I had C: and D:, and it never screwed with any of my Gentoo stuff. (Except the bootloader, but what do you expect, eh?)

This should have already been clear, but: do not discuss illegal activities in the forums. It's in the guidelines.
