At the moment I have a 160GB HD and am running XP. I've partitioned (10GB and 150GB) it with Partition Magic 8.0 and I'm wanting to install Pro 9.1 onto that partition.
I have the dvd-rom and have booted off of it but when it comes to the installation I'm stuck. As it looks to me it's trying to install it over my XP install on my first parition. Being the complete newbie that I am I'm not sure what to do.
How do I install it onto my partition and are there any other steps I need to take to get this to work?

I Think its bacaus you havent made the 10GB Partitino to a Primory drive, if you do that it works 100% i had same problem and im running Dual boot now with Windows XP and SuSE Linux 9.1
P.S. Yust a good idea, Make your partitinos before bootin, go into Partition Magic and make a 100MB Partition to Boot and a 512MB Partition to Swap and the rest of your partition to / (Root) so when you install it automaticley chooses the linux partitions to install on.
Good Luck an Have Fun
