    Hi all.

    Attempting to have a dual boot system with XP (already installed) and Sabayon. Current setup has 1 physical drive partitioned into an OS partition and a media disk. I have previously managed to Dual boot Ubuntu but am getting stuck at the partitioning stage with Sabayon. I dont want to loose my OS or my media. Is this possible or do i need to create a third partition for Sabayon?

    Cheers,
    M5

    ya i did this with vista, had to make a seperate partition for sabayon
    had to make the partition from inside vista, when i tried after booting sabayon4.0 and using partioning tool it failed

    I was hoping that there was some way to install inside xp and avoid the partitioning. Has anyone managed to do that? If not i'll be repartitioning over the weekend

    no, its not like ubuntu, it doesnt have that feature
    partioning is simple anyway will only take 20 seconds
