Hi!

I have Windows XP installed on C drive and have one logical drive D. I have even converted NTFS to FAT32 using Partition Magic 8.0. Now when I start the Red Hat 9.0 installation and reach DiskDruid for paritioning, it is not doing Auto Partitioning, it says MBR is having illegal information though fixable. This is surprising because through Linux Rescue mode when I run Fdisk, I get proper partition information.

I also tried Manual Paritioning with Disk Druid. I created / and swap. After installation I got "Error loading operating system" message. I thought I should have made /boot and /var partition as well with Disk Druid. But the problem is in Manual Partitioning Disk Druid is not making more than 2 partitions even when there is enough space.

All in all I am stuck with Red Hat 9.0 installation for the last 30 hours.


Someone please shed some light on this chaotic process of partitioning which Red Hat 9.0 is coming up with.


regards

This seems to be a kernel and bootloader problem.
