Hello all! In my laptop I have these partitions: PQSERVICE(F:) primary LOCAL DISK(D:) logical(XP) ARWEN (C:) and 22,98 GB of unallocated space I read bsd needs to be installed in a primary partition but neither disk manager of XP nor Gparted can create one,they only create logical partitions.I want install BSD in 8GB of the unallocated space,does anyone know what can I do?Any help appreciated cause it's the forst time I try to install PCBSD Thanx :-)

Well..finally I deleted XP,it needed formatting anyway..I installed PCBSD 1.3.1 in a 10GB UFS partition with 1GB swap,I think it's ok.Before I spent days and nights tying to use my sagem fast 840(annex B) usb modem,I'd like to know if there's any chance to make it work..

USB modem ? No way. Most of them don't even work in Linux.
