Sub: PLEASE HELP ME
Sir
I am pursuing my final year of MCA from INDIA. Sir please help me for my
problem which is as follows:
I am having a hard drive of 17.2GB. I have partitioned my hard drive into
four partitions with Seagate disk manager making it of FAT32. My C:
partition is of 11GB, D is of 2.2GB, E partition is of 2GB and rest in F
partition. I have installed Windows98 Second Edition in my C partition and
Windows2000 in my D partition, and I am able to boot successfully in both
Windows98 and Windows2000. As I want to install RED HAT LINUX 5.2 in my E
partition and have left F partition for my installers. I have tried many
times to install LINUX in my E partition but each and every time I got
failed, although after reading many times your installing instruction
available on CD. The procedure I am using to install LINUX is �
First I make my computer to boot from CD-ROM.. After getting successfully
booted from CD-ROM. and making a choice for INSTALL, I choose to install
Custom Setup and after than the it asks for which format and partition
utility for LINUX swap partition and LINUX native, Disk Druid or Fdisk. I
chooses disk druid than it shows only two partition of my hard drive, first
one is my C drive and the other one is the total of all the drive partition,
and I could not make any choice to install the LINUX for a partition else
than C or D if again I format my D partition and make a swap partition of
96MB, as I am having the same amount of RAM. Than swap partition is made
successfully but when I try to make the rest of space for native partition
it says �BOOT PARTITION TOO BIG�. But I want to install LINUX into E
partition.
Sir this is my problem so please me as soon as possible I am waiting very
anxiously for your reply.
Thanking you
Yours truly,
Vipin Singhal
