problem occured during installing qnx

  1. well in the first try i thought id use the option of a safe boot. Where
    qnx says u can try to execute qnx w/o installing it. When it was doing so it
    asked for a login and passwd. ?I never assigned a login and passwd. Is there
    any default

  2. I have Xp in first half of my HDD and linux on the other. So i resized
    the XP partition and made 3Gb of free space in between the Xp and linux
    partitions(using partition magic). QNX didnt see that free space. So should
    i partion the Xp drive and qnx to overwrite the 2nd half of the Xp
    partition?
    Please advise as to what i’m doing wrong…
    And is there a default username passwd to run the safe mode of QNX?

The username should be ‘root’ and it doesn’t have a password until you
give it one (during an install).

Probably your 3GB of free space is inside of extended partition. Free space should not be covered by
extended partition and QNX will creat primary partition on that place.

Sometimes you can also resize extended partition by partition magic. Warning: your XP could become
unbootable after this modification. You might want to take a look at

Personally I don’t use extended partition at all. It’s quite enough to have up to 4 primary
partitions for my small hard drive.

P.S. Please do not start new thread for the same question (problem) every day.
