Hi,
I had postd earlier regarding RH4.0 installation process not accessing my CreativeLabs
4x CD-drive. With tips from the netters, I am happy to say that I made the necessary
changes on the CD interface card and was able to access it as IDE(ATAPI) drive. The model
number is CDR-581 (Matsushita-Kokobuita make), just in case others want to know.
My next problem is regarding partition process that comes up during the installation.
I currently have the following hardware on my machine:
hda - hda1 - 405M - DOS native
hdb - hdb1 - 200M - DOS native
- hdb2 - 300M - Linux native - with slackware 1.0 on it (time to upgrade :) )
- hdb3 - 16M - Linux swap
hdc - CDROM
hda & hdb are on ide0 and hdc is on ide1
Now, after asking if there are any SCSI devices, the installation process goes into
partitioning menu. Here, I am confused. I already have the partitions and would just like
to reformat hdb2 and install RH4.0 there. I do not want to do any partioning. Please let
me know how I should proceed without messing up DOS/windows stuff. Also, let me know if
you need further clarification.
Thanks in advance.
