I noticed that the linux os went through more frequent check disks
at the beginning of the boot.
Personally, I would not place a frugal install inside a Windows
install. Look at it cross eyed and something goes wrong.
I install Linux on linux partition types. It seems technically sound,
logical, straight forward to me. Actually very beneficial and optimal,
I wish to add.
However, Gparted, NFTS, Windows partition is the standard
recommendation on this forum. Change will not occur.
The first advice to enter was in support of, well, here are the
words, "Frugal install on the WinXP partition will do just fine"
Can you argue against that suggestion?
I could, but it would not do one bit of good. The OP took the advice
and went with it. Problem is solved.
In this particular, the drive is bare. Three or four DOS files from
the format /s command. That is it and we don't recommend Linux
format partition and we do recommend Microsoft format. This is
not exceptional. It is pretty well the standard here.
I read your post. I hear you.
Wish to add: mill0001 did recommend a Linux partition, but it
was, I think too late.
