Running Mandriva 16
This installation requires no special hard disk configuration. As mentioned, this install assumes a
preexisting Microsoft Windows operating system using the NTFS file system. You will ???make room???
on the existing partition and install Mandriva there. In addition to using a boot disk (as you will
here), you can take advantage of the installation options such as FTP and NFS as outlined briefly in
this chapter and in more detail in Chapter 7.
Do not make your first installation attempt on a mission-critical system. Resizing an
NTFS partition can have unintended effects. Back up any information you cannot live
without, especially if you resize existing partitions as the following instructions show.
Installing Mandriva with the DrakX Installer
The first part of starting a Mandriva install from the Mandriva One live CD is to boot up that live
CD. Once the live CD is up and running, you start the installation process by opening the Live
Install icon from the live CD??™s desktop.
1. Back up any important data from your computer's hard disk before starting this
procedure.
2. Insert the DVD that comes with this book and reboot the computer.
