I have a Pentium 133 with 2 drives, 515 mg & 1.86gb. The 515 is divided
into 2 partitions, 400 mg Drive C & 115 Drive E. The 1.86, 3 partitions,
D 1gb & F & G .5 of a Gb each -  roughly. Trying to install Linux to
drivr F:, I've created the boot & root disks & because the boot disk
does not recognise my CD Rom, a Creative 24oo 12 speed, I've copied the
Linux files to the F drive using the rawrite command. I boot the system
on the Linux boot disk change to the root disk & enter the setup
program, go to target section to tell the setup where to install the
linux & it does not want to recognise my 5 partitions it only recognises
the c drive. Any clues you can give me?
