I put a 2.5GB HD in there and presto - no prob. (BTW, I went back and checked again just to make double-sure that error says 1GB/128MB for the minimum size of the partitions for Musix - it does. To see what I mean, just put the CD in a computer with less than the required free space and try to start the old-style Knoppix install.) OK, now for the GRUB problem. Trying to boot from HD, GRUB tries to start and fails with Error 21, whatever that is. The rescue floppy created when I installed Musix has only a slightly different version of this problem, complaining "disk does not exist" when I try to boot Linux. (Ironically, it boots Windows just fine!) The setup is as follows: I have Windows 2000 on the primary master HD, the primary slave is configured as a FAT32 storage unit, the secondary master is my DVD drive and the secondary slave contains Musix. GRUB is loaded on the MBR of the primary master. I'm attaching the menu.lst file from my installation and can show you any other relevant config files on request. If someone could look this over and let me know if anything looks suspicious, I would greatly appreciate it. I really don't understand why it isn't working. Thanks!!!!
