[QUOTE="OnOff, post: 300687, member: 16173"] With the boy having his own gaming pc now it means I have regained access to the old "family" pc. It has a 1TB HDD, which has 5 partions. Roughly 3 x 300GB, 1 x 100GB and the 5th partition just MB - something to do with Windows and common to all the Windows installs. Each of the 300MB partitions has it's own OS, Windows XP Pro, its own Office install etc. It was a case of mine, hers and the boys. The permissions are "tiered" as in I can see all drives, she can see the boys and he can only see his. Then we have another 1TB HDD in there for storage. I left the 100MB partition on which to install Linux. Not sure what I'm going to do with it just interested seeing what it's all about. Got a bit of spare time today as she's gone shopping and the kids are occupied so where to start? Whats the best site for a guide to doing this anyone? Hoping it's something I put on a USB stick? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
