Help installing Fedora

[Marc M]

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.

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.

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.
