disk_dos.c error during install of FC3

[Michael D. Setzer II]

I tried the cancel as was mentioned in the bug list as an option, but it 
would just end with an error message and shut down. This is with 
the primary partition with 98, and NT and linux running as logic 
partitions on the extended partition. The drives are 80GB Segate 
drives.

Thanks for the reply.
