trackrat Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Just a quick question. I have just built a new computer, I have partitioned the hard drive ( C = 50gb & D = 26gb ).I have installed XP Home on the C partition, can I now insert the Mandrake installation disc and install it straight on to the D partition?Regards Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
