I have just tried to load linux, redhat version 5.2, it didn't go to well.
It came up with an error on boot up, after install, that said check for
forced. and a blinking command prompt, Upon attempting to reinstall, I have
now lost my hard drive, I have two hard drives, one 4G running win98, one
13G, which I would like formatted in the following way, 6.0gig for Linux,
6.5 for win98 or nt, and the remainder as swap, or unallocated, to allow for
growing in linux partition,  the main problem, is now I don't have any dos
formatting left on my 13g hard drive, it says it's non dos, but when I try
to allocate a 6.0g partition for linux native, it says partition too big.
Anyhelp would be appreciated. thanks
