Yes I resized the windows partition but i can access and read it from puppy

Excuse me but i m a beginner, in linux how can I run the cdrom with puppy? I cannot run it, it open the directory with all files. I have got a pc with windows xp pro, i have installed puppy lucid 5.1.1 and grub. How did you make the second partition? Can you see inside the windows partition from the...

I made the second partition with gparted.
If I open gparted i see the flag boot on windows but when i choose linux the system starts

I have one hard drive. The linux partition is sda2 while windows is on sda1. My menu.lst contains: # Other bootable partition config begins title Windows (on /dev/sda1) rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 # Other bootable partition config ends # Linux bootable partition config begins titl...

I attached menu.txt.
When i choose windows it appears the sentence: Starting up ... and the system remains in this step.

Be specific about what you see when you try to run windows.
Need to give menu.lst in text format.

I have got a pc with windows xp pro, i have installed puppy lucid 5.1.1 and grub. At the boot i see windows and Linux. If I choose linux it works well and it starts linux puppy, if i choose windows it doesn't work anything. I saw with gparted that the flag "boot" is on windows. I attached ...

Who wants to make a simple guide for us newbie?

If I don't resolve this ..I think to leave puppy

I have done as you told me with puppy 4 and puppy 3.1 Samba don't start, it says: permission denied. My smb.conf is: [global] public = Yes ;this is the name of the windows workgroup the computer should show up in, so should match whatever you use in any Windows computers workgroup = HOOD server stri...

I'm a beginner, very bginner! i have puppy 4.0 I have a local area network. I installed samba 3.0.26 and i did set smb.conf into etc/opt/samba/ directory as: ;*******************section global***************** [global] public = Yes ;this is the name of the windows workgroup the computer should show ...

I would like to see all over the network, I think that fusesmb isn't for me!

I resolved to install fusesmb, Puppy doesn't see all computer into network.
Into a same workgroup it doesn't see itself, a mac and other pc. It does see a few of pc.

Why?

How do i have to configure fusesmb.conf?

Can I transfer all files puppy from usb pendrive to hard disk? How do I have to format my hard disk?
