Most of the cases it will work fine when you select fdisk instead of usual diskdruid the RH7.1 GUI gives u for partitioning (check out for the option fdisk
in the partitioning phase)...and once u go to the fdisk screen see help on how to create partitions...and once u are done exit it and u r back to the installation screen... If you have never done this...you can easily locate while in the partitioning phase of installation...by seeing left side help screeens... I installed RH7.1 on 40 GB harddisk after installing Win 98.
