I have a PIII
with no OS, (with ATA33 controllers I believe), two empty HD,
(10 gig ... probably ATA33, 40 gig ATA100) and need to install Windows 98 SE, RH 5.1 and Mandrake 8.1 (Please don't ask why ...that's what I HAVE to install). I have been having fits trying to get the different factors to work together. Partitioning software (Dos fdisk, cfdisk, diskdrake, fips.exe), ATA 100, LBA, fat16, fat32, linux native, /mbr, /root, first 1024 cylinders etc. aaaahhhhhh! Is there any way to do this relatively simply? (I am linux challenged!) Will the use of boot floppies avoid having to get a /boot partition into the first 1024 cylinders? |
