I also have had troubles with this as well. If you are using, or trying to use rather, the Microsucks fdisk, don't bother. It doesn't work. As for the fdisk packaged with Linux, I have not had much luck there either. Usually, after an hour or so of pain and agony, I simply low-level format the hard drive and then re-fdisk it using the Windblows fdisk so set up my Windblows partition only and re-format and install... If you don't have a low-level formatter, send me an e-mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I will send you a copy of the one I have.

I just installed RH 6.1 on my Windows 98 box. The install went fine and everything was working fine. Unfortunately I wound up deleting 98 (Gotta have it for work) and wound up with an EXT DOS partition that fdisk wont delete (Because it says there are logical drives in the partition. Do any of you Gurus know how I can wipe the HD clean? I also tried using the Disk Druid in the install program to no avail. I'm going to put Linux on a different HD but I'd like to salvage the one. Any and all help is most appreciated. Nyal R Cammack
