In response to below suggestion, I repartitioned as follows: c: 5,004.6 meg Extended: / 2,502.3 swap 502.0 /usr 5,004.6 e: 19,618.4
The Debian install takes me to the same problems as before: When I permit partitioning: "FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 0. Partition ends after end-of-disk. Press any key to exit cfdisk" When I view the partition table: "The following partitions have been detected /dev/hda1 Active WIN95 FAT32 /target /dev/hda2 WIN95 Extended (LBA) Apparently the system is not seeing my Linux partitions although Partition Magic confirms their presence When booting, I used DOS fdisk to make the second partition active, but this does not seem to be reflected to the Debian installer. All attempts within the installer to see any other partition fail The extended partition is a logical partition, which was recommended. Is this related to problem?
