Hi Folks
This is the reply which I got from PCQ Team.It says that I will have to
delete all my partitions.
Is there any other way ( Indra , Arup R U listening..).
Thanks

Hello:
Because of the way the computer's BIOS was designed in the past, the
boot sector should be withing the first 1024 cylinders of the disk.
This
means that /boot should be a partition in the beginning of the disk.
Since
you already have windows there, this is most probably not possible
unless
you recreate the windows partition.
1) Delete *all* partitions on your hard disk including C:
2) Create a new primary partition for windows which < 1GB preferably and
create an extended partition using DOS Fdisk. Do not create logical
DOS drives at this point. REPEAT: DO NOT CREATE LOGICAL DOS DRIVES AT
THIS
POINT.
3) Install Windows on C:
4) Boot using the 6.2 Installation CD using /text/ mode and /not/ GUI
mode
5) Create /boot at the beginning of the extd partn, ie, it should come
right after /dev/hda1 (C:)
6) Create other Linux partitions as necessary for "/" etc
7) Complete installation
