Even I had the same #. Keeping in mind the 1024 cylinder problem this is what i did :- 1. I limited my C:> to 5Gb using fips (its there in the RH 7.1 cd. remember to defragment ur drive first). 2. I then ran the installation and chose to partition the drive with fdisk. I then created a new partition for the /boot directory (around 50 mb). 3. I restarted my computer after saving the table. 4. I booted into DOS mode and ran fdisk to create a partition (D:> around 10 Gb) another partition. I formattted D:>. 5. I ran the installation and this time I used Disk Druid and alloted the 50 Mb space for the /boot directory and the rest for the root directory / . 6. Voila ! Vikas
