I have an old Sony fx210 laptop that I've upgraded.
It now has a 1.2 GB processor, 512MB RAM a 80 GB HDD, a Motorola 835G pcmcia wireless card
I need Win Me to run my"Windows only development software".
I do not connect to the internet with Win Me (for obvious reasons).

I liked what I saw in antiX so I went to DistroWatch and downloaded 32 bit: antiX-15-V_386-full.iso
I set it up to dual boot in a 3 partition style."WinME,data,antiX"

I will be using antiX for my Web uploads/downloads etc.
But, how do I view the data partition from antiX?
I can only see the antiX partition now.

Also at the right hand top of any page where the dash, square or plus, and the X are.
Only show pictures or arrows or they are blank.
Does anyone know how to correct this?

Thanks for any help.

Internal partitions do not mount automatically. The easiest method is to use spacefm filemanager (Menu>Applications>system). Right click in the shortcut area on the left, select Show>Internal Partitions. Your data partition should show up in the left pane. Click to mount (will ask for a password probably).

Check out my video series on antiX, including all sorts of spacefm tricks. My channel is in my signature.

As to the graphical problems, try doing a full dist-upgrade before doing too much. there was a problem with the graphical login manager (slim is its name) that can cause all sorts of weird and unpredictable session problems. This has been fixed in an update.
