The hard drive is 37. 7 GB, and 80% is free. When I start the installation off of the first CD, i get to the part that you partition your hard drive.

Heres my story. I want to install Linux Mandrake 9.2 onto my computer, currently running XP Home. The hard drive is 37.7 GB, and 80% is free. When I start the installation off of the first CD, i get to the part that you partition your hard drive. I want to split the hard drive in half, basically, but when I try to do so, it says that I need to defrag. After a scan disk, a checkdisk, and a defragging, I try again. Same result. Please defrag. Any ideas?
 
Also, it finally let me partition it, but only let me have a new piece of 300 mb.

OP
Linux still rules. Except that Linux is a silent movie. How does one set up speakers?
