I'm a windows user (currently using Windows Me). I'm trying to install Red
Hat Linux 6.2 but there's a BIG problem.
I've one harddisk (IBM 20.1Gb). I've put it into 4 equal partition with 5Gb
each. Once I put in the Linux CD-Rom and try to install it. An error message
pop out every time, which say : "...device hda is not partition porperly...
no such file or directory."
I've try to re-partition to almost any combination ( 5x4Gb, 2x10Gb, etc) The
only case work (to go through the problem) is when there's no partition at
all, which I mean only one primary drive with 20Gb.
But I can't just purly switch to Linux, I still need Windows for others jobs
to be done.
Please HELP.
