Use fdisk to remove all the partitions and then create new ones for Red Hat. I am almost positive that means that your Windows partitions are taking up all the space on your hard drive and the Red Hat installer can't find a place to install itself.

I am trying to install Redhat on a windows machine where I am not the adminstrator. I want this computer to be 100% redhat. I put in my install disk and press next when the "Welcome to Red Hat Enterprise Linux" gui displays I get an error saying "Partioning failed: Could not allocate partitions as primary partitions. Press 'OK' to reboot your system". Do I need to manually reformat the disk first using Disk druid or fdisk? If so, any suggestions. Do I need the adminsistrator to do something on the Windows side before installing Redhat? _________________________________________________________________ Connect to the next generation of MSN Messenger http://imagine-msn.com/messenger/launch80/default.aspx?locale=en-us&source=wlmailtagline-- KPLUG-Newbie@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
