<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am trying to eliminate windows all together.
Originally I just wanted to maintain a dual boot system. Unfortunately, DDO does
not like to play with Linux. It seems to eliminate both OS's when I install
linux. Once in a while I get an incorrect geometry message. I am trying to do a
clean install of Fedora now. I will keep you posted. Thanks</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Do you have to keep the windoze? If not you can let
redhat wipe out the partition and adress this during the install
process. Have you tried doing an install? If so, please post
specific errors and we can address that. <BR><BR>Without knowing what
your specific problem is I would say that a real helpful thing to do is to
download and burn a 'live' cd distribution such as Knoppix or Ubuntu (live cd
version). Boot to that and run an fdisk utility or something similar,
which will let you create a partition to use. You could create more than one
partition including probably the boot partition. <BR><BR>Then when you
boot up the redhat installer anaconda will recognize what you have and allow
you to adress this. I am not sure about the Dynamic Disk Overlay
feature, but I have occasionally had to create partitions in situations
similar to this. Good luck and again post specific errors if you still
need help. <BR><BR><BR>Marc<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>

have an IBM laptop that is running win2000. I have a 30gig harddrive loaded
with Dynamic Disk Overlay to correct the problem of the large disk size with
the older laptop. I want to install fedora or some other linux flavor on
laptop but am having problem with MBR. Can anyone suggest a workaround. Any
help will be greatly appreciated.</BLOCKQUOTE>
