  1. What I meant as the cloning method is, it has been installed using an disk imaging tool named 'g4u' using a copy of a installed machine (linke Norton Ghost).I hope it is clear. All the partitions were in ext3 format. So using a Windows XP cd , I created a partition using the windows setup. It failed and then i tried using fdisk with a Windows 98 CD. but the problem remains,its same even format the mbr. So thats the situation. I'm trying to keep my mandrake installation and get Windows installed. If i delete linux partitions, Windows can be installed without a problem. Thanks
  2. Hi, I've a machine which is installed Mandrake 10 using a hard disk cloning method. It's entire hard dish was in ext format. I wanted to make it dual boot, so I format using fdisk and tried to install Windows XP using a CD. Windows setup fails saying it is unable to find a windows compatible partition in the disk even though I create a partition using Windows setup. If I delete all the linux partitions, I can install windows without a problem. Any idea??? Thanks. Asanka.
