What I'm doing is installing fedora-10 so I can dual boot either fc-10 or windows-xp. windows-xp already exists using 26GB of 80GB on the HD. I go thru a few menus. Then I get to the partitioning and have problems. I selected "use free space of selected drives and create default layout". 1 drive is selected and the same drive is chosen to boot from. The response is: 1. Could not allocate requested partitions. Not enough space left to create partition for /boot. 2. Have not defined a root partition. What is going on with this? Is there a reliable fix? FYI pehaps I selected the wrong disk (I have two). Is there a method to find out the manufacturer of a disk from windows? thx much, peter
