I recently purchased Mandrake 7.0 complete and have been attempting to
install it as a dual boot with Windows; however, all attempts have
failed.
I recieved a message that I needed to Create a Linux partition below
the 1024 cylinder by creating a Native Linux partition for th root
mount point call "/" below the 1024 cylinders, and create a 128M Linux
swat mount point partitionany where on the hard drive on the available
free space and need not to be below 1024.

Can anyone explain this and explain how to do it?
