This is what I'm doing.  I installed it on my thirt drive and windows is booting fine from the MBR.

I wanted to keep pardus out of the way of the computer's other user, my wife.

I press F11 and get my BIOS boot menu and select my third drive (where I chose to put the pardus boot loader) and I get the error in plain text that I mentioned in post one.

Tomorrow is saturday and hopefully I can spend some time to what what's been suggested.

BTW, to fix the MBR after playing with linux distros and get your plain old windows boot back is /FIXMBR from the recovery console when booting from the winXP disk.

My problem is I know windows backward but I'm still just a "user" in linux.

well my problem now is that I don't have another distro installed and I'm trying to find a live CD that'll give me drive access

Thanks for that.  I'll give it a try

Does anybody know or know of another bootloader I can find to install and how to do it?

by the explanation then I would ignore error 22 from a previous install.

How do i fix the error 15?  where is the file I edit and what is it called?

I have just installed pardus again and when i try to load it from grub i get an error


I try from a different drive and I get



I have three drives and i chose to install the boot loader to one other than my primary drive and pardus is installed to my 3rd drive

never mind, I found login manager

the login screen helpfully shows ther users in a list so I can select one and just type the password.

My question: can I remove users from this list? so I or they have to type the username and password.

I think that was my last problem

Last night I stripped down windows to bare minimum for running my games, pardus for everything else.  It's the first time I've done that

never mind, I added rw and user to the vfat lines

I'll post it when I get home from work (4 hours)

In Ubuntu there was a way of mapping that gave me read/write access and in fedora I had to change access rights as root

what do I do in pardus?

the regional setting helped

now there's just my drive access problem and I think that's it

A simple one I think

I have only read only access to my windows fat32 partitions. what do I do?
