I had the same problem with different hardware with both RH
6.0 (which had come pre-installed by Dell, & with LM7.2). As it
turns out, Dell had installed on some dos partitioned extended
drive only W2k could read & format. You might get a hold of a
W2k CD, reformat the drive & try again. That'll probably do it.
