Don't quote me on this, but I think that there may be a 3G Hdd limit. (Read
it somewhere, but might be only for an older version of RH)
If You R going to use more than 1 drive for multiple operating systems, then
why not set your 1.2G as master and the other drive as slave. Set Linux on
the master and WinXX (nt/95/98) on the other drive). When the install
process asks you to be able to see other drives, this is where you indicate
which drive(physical or logical - depending on how you set it up) and a name
for it... ie: /dev/hda = Linux.... /dev/hdb = WinXX and then save your LILO
on the MBR of the primary disk.
PS: I usually find it easier to wipe the disk I'm gonna install Linux to and
create the Boot / Image disk to Boot and install from.
PS: Did you run FDISK once booted in linux... Recommended to do so, and set
a Native and a Swap partition.
