OSS installation partition questions
How does OSS know what partition it has been installed in when one installs it in its own separate partition ?
I need to move the partition in which I have installed OSS, but I would like to do so without having to disable or uninstall OSS. Is this possible ? I am just trying to save myself the need to have OSS find my operating systems again since I have everything working nicely with it.
I'm pretty sure it's a hard-code link. You would need to reactivate OSS after moving the partition. I think it should be okay afterwards because the partition ID's would still be the same (it shouldn't have to redetect any of the operating systems).
May I ask why you need to move the partition?
I need to make space before the partition. The OSS partition is a primary partition, since I could not get OSS to use a logical partition, and there is an extended partition just before it I would like to extend.
In that case, I would recommend making only one partition change at a time and booting into OSS (or Windows) after each change. This way OSS only has to deal with one partition changing at a time (less chance of things going wrong).
