wellswilson : 28/05/04 09:44 PM : Incident created -   I have a 34GB partition where I would like to load Linux. I want to run a dual-boot system. When I try to load to the designated partition, I get the following message: "You need a true filesystem (ext2/ext3, reiserfs, xfx, or jfs) for this mount point." What does that mean?
Linegod_7611 : 29/05/04 12:04 AM : Reply received -   Is the partition already formatted? If it is, delete the partition and leave it as 'free space'. The Mandrake install will allow you to properly format this partion. -------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
wellswilson : 29/05/04 01:17 AM : More info provided -   Should I use the Mandrake Installer (DrakX) to delete this partition? I created the partition with PartitionMagic 8.0.
Linegod_7611 : 30/05/04 04:37 PM : Reply received -   Yes. Use 'diskdrake' (the name of the partitioning tool in DrakX) to delete the partition. -------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
