I'll add it to my text > as a workaround in some cases. just to be clear on my point: the HD must be set to LBA *before* diskdrake does the partitions, no use doing it afterwards anyway, as I've said, the error is non-fatal, install will proceed and everything works just fine, problems only arise when you want to change something that changes the partition table. There are people out there actually advising you to just ignore the error. - Mark
