There are several ways to overcome it and get PE onto a full size partition. The easiest way is probably to <a href=\"\/chunga.php?ID=493\">create a BeOS installation CD<\/a> out of the raw <code>image.be<\/code> file. If you don&#8217;t have a CD burner, read on.<br \/>\nFirst of all, you&#8217;ll need a blank partition somewhere on your system. This could be an empty D: drive, for example, or blank space you&#8217;ve created with fdisk or PartitionMagic or Be&#8217;s own DriveSetup. Make sure this partition is <code>at least<\/code> 2*AmountOfRAM+200MBs.<br \/>\nInstall PE normally, from within Windows. Then boot into BeOS and launch the Installer application. Installer has the amazing ability to install BeOS <i>from<\/i> any existing BeOS installation <i>to<\/i> any blank BFS partition. Use the Installer&#8217;s options to select the From: volume (your Personal Edition installation) and To: volume (your blank partition). Allow the Installer to initialize the volume with a block size of 1024 (remember, this will destroy all data on the partition!) and let &#8218;er rip. A few minutes later, you&#8217;ll have two complete BeOS installations.<br \/>\nNow you&#8217;ll want to give yourself a boot menu, so you can select an operating system at boot time rather than going through Windows. Installer should offer to install Bootman when installation is done &#8212; this is highly recommended for easiest booting. See also <a href=\"\/chunga.php?ID=232\">Modify bootman after the fact<\/a> .<br \/>\nOnce you&#8217;re sure everything is safely up and running, you can even uninstall PE from within Windows, and your full size partition will still run just fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frustrated by the size of the 500MB partition size limitation in BeOS 5 Personal Edtion?
