Hi every body, I m just new in the group, I would like to install this nice looking distro.
Can I install WattOS on the side of others distros,
When I run the installation program I have a windows with only two option sda 160 Go or sdb 1 Go
Well I made some partitioning to receive WattOs, the installer doesn't show me that partition , so I quit to ask before, what can I do.
Thank for your help

I will say what I think are the best solutions, but realize that there is risk when messing around with partitions, so you need to be careful and back important things up offline.
I prefer to leave windows alone and add a drive to use to load other operating systems.
If I can't do that, then I free up space and reduce the size of the windows partition, and use a live boot to run gparted and create a new partition sized, labeled and formatted for the operating system to be installed. Then I write down the structure to be able to refer to it when i do the install. I allow 8 to 10 gb per operating system.
I had no problem installing. I have windows vista on the sda drive and 6 different linux distros on the sdb drive.
Get wattOS - Microwatt Edition 8 - CDROM - ISO File - BitTorrent

thriftee, thank you for your answer, so I push further the install and every things come perfect, I install WattOS on the side of XUbuntu Voyager 14.04 and also on the side of a recovery of windows and windows vista himself, shrinked to maximum, I never use it, then next time I have to format it goes to garbage to give more room to WattOs.
Now I m going the work a bit on Debian System to find my way for tuning a bit this nice little think...
