All: I am trying to install Red hat Linux 8.0 on Sony's PCG-Z1P Notebook.
However I am having problems creating partitions. With Disk Druid, from the drive rectangular display, I do not even see the current NTFS partitions from Windows XP. Anyway I tried to create a "/boot" partition, and I get an error message: "Could not allocate requested partitions: partitioning failed: Could not allocate partitions as primary partitions" ? What is the issue here ? On my PC I can see the Windows partitions from Disk Druid, and can successfully create Linux partitions ? Should I create the recommended "/", "/boot", "/usr" etc ... using partition magic may be ? But then will the install CDs work and skip partition part of the install ?
