If you're sure you don't want anything else on the system, I'd go ahead and fdisk everything to nothing, then try the install. I've not used Redhat, but it sounds like for some reason it's having trouble with the partitions which I have seen on occasion. If you give it a completely blank slate it should be able to deal with it...

I am trying to install Redhat on a windows machine where I am not the adminstrator. I want this computer to be 100% redhat. I put in my install disk and press next when the "Welcome to Red Hat Enterprise Linux" gui displays I get an error saying "Partioning failed: Could not allocate partitions as primary partitions. Press 'OK' to reboot your system". Do I need to manually reformat the disk first using Disk druid or fdisk? If so, any suggestions. Do I need the adminsistrator to do something on the Windows side before installing Redhat? _________________________________________________________________ Connect to the next generation of MSN Messenger http://imagine-msn.com/messenger/launch80/default.aspx?locale=en-us&source=wlmailtagline-- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
