Thanks for the "partition basics" info .
I understand my predicament now .

GParted shows 6 partitions .
I am wondering , How will this play out ?
And still, what is the extended partition an extension of (which drive) ?

* Too many Primary Partitions, how to fix ? I am trying to install PuppyLinuxSlacko.5.4 from a LiveUsb to an unallocated-Partition in my Lenovo-G770 Laptop, Win7 .

In Gparted right-click the unallocated space -> New

What to do next ?

Thanks...Vernon

Any ideas how to get it to boot from flashDrive ?
Thanks...vm

Greets,
Is there a puppy version for macBook Pro ?
Thanks...Vernon

Anyways, this SeaMonkey email is working.
