Before that, I would have had to free 800mb on E:. With seeing what had to be edited to get it to work usin...

Thank You nobspangle ! (way late comming) :)

Well I cannot say that was easy but I figured it out. I followed the process nobspangle pointed out. (I did not need to use chroot - and still do not know what nano was) I was able to make the edits and Gentoox Pro 2.0a is running - just loaded successfully and waiting for a login! If you know the c...

Exactly! I want to keep F: for my games and homebrew xbox appz. I have a 250gb drive at the momemt and F: is using the rest of the drive.

<Hadaken> in IRC gave me the idea that running resctoox from HD may cause the issue. I am gonna get it burned on a good dvd or cdrw and try it. If those do not work Iwill connect a differnt PC DVD-ROM drive and try it.


Will post the results.
