TC install dual boot with windows xp X64

[tsianos1]

hey i finally took the risk and i will install it! will it support my SATA DISK 7200RPM 300GB??? I also have ubuntu 9.10 on the second partition but i will delete it with cfdisk during the install  (in sda2)  . My problem is ubuntu karmic koala which it has already grub in sda2 and if i delete the partition (and the swap) and install the other grub again in the sda2 will it have problems??? and my last question is what will i write in grub to recognize and the windows xp professional x64 in boot (sda1)

Don't delete the swap partition. Keep it to run Tiny Core.

Ubuntu 9.10 probably uses ext4. Is that correct? Format the partition with Ext3 for Tiny Core.

You can install Grub from Tiny Core, and it works.

For Windows XP, use:

title   Windows
root   (hd0,1)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader   +1

Hey to all again i installed it, it is fast enough but i have a problem. My 5.1 speakers don't work...I can' set resolution to 1680x1050x32? Someone help

My 5.1 speakers don't work

Have you installed a sound package like alsa.tczl or OSS.tczm?

and how can i install flash player?

This is a two-step process. Download and install getFlash10.tcz. It will put an entry on the Applications menu. Then run that item.

flash player is OK and the resolution too because i installed Xorg now and the 5.1 speakers work too with GTK2 mixer

another 1 question is where can i find nvidia drivers for this and how can i change the wallpaper???

nvidia drivers are propriatry drivers therefore not available for download on the TC WEB site. You can try Xorg first and see the result:
