Jim, If you only have one partition on your HDD and it is being used by W2k it will make a difference whether that partition is fat32 or ntfs. Although you can install RH on a fat32 partition it is not recommended. TTBOMK you cannot install RH on an ntfs partition.
I think the best way to handle this is to create the partitions yourself and then tell the RH installer to use the unused partition(s). You probably know that you can use partition magic to restructure your HDD. I feel a bit unsafe with partition magic and prefer to restructure myself with fdisk and Ghost: 1. Make Ghost image on 2nd HDD or network drive. 2. Use fdisk to restructure 1st HDD 3. Restore Ghost image to new partition on 1st HDD. 4.
