Thermite?
We don't have these little buggers in northern Europe
Seriously - by erasing all the content of the MBR
either in DOS using the debug command or in Linux with dd
Thermite?

I would just like to point out that this is possible to achieve with the mint live cd as well or test the PartedMagic LiveCD, which is a great rescue cd as well.Phantom.mint wrote:Hiya Brayan,
newbie here, but maybe I can help as I did the same: install of a linux system on same XP harddrive (Toshiba laptop)
1) used PartitionMagic to resize the original XP disk (40g) down to 30g. A primary partition.
2) created a 1.5Gb primary partition from the now unused 10g, for /swap, also a primary partition.
3) created remainder (8.5g) as an extended partition
3A) created a 8.5Gb Logical partition, EXT3 filesystem for linux install.
From the MINT Live CD, I selected MANUAL parittioning, which quickly offered me the option of using 1.5 Swap and "existing" 8.5 Linux (logical) parition.
As for PartitionMagic (http://www.Symantec.com and eBay), there are other partitioning routines out there, such as PClinuxOS that can be run from CD to accomplish the same. PCLOS and MINT install a nice Grub (loader) that automatically detects Windows as a dual-boot option.
MINT is the only distro that has kept me from going insane with one issue or another. Hope this helps.

Of course, if you have bought partition magic, you can use that.
