hello friends, recently i tried to install pcql7.1 in my new machine which had win98 preloaded. the samsung 20gb hdd was partioned as pri-dos 6.5gb, ext-dos 12gb in which two logical drives d: & e: were of equal vol. i tried to remove the drive e: and partion it as '/', 'swap', '/usr' and '/home' leaving the other drive d: unchanged. but disk druid could not assign the partition '/' as because 'cylinder > 1024'. can anyone suggest me what to do in this situation? then i deleted d: also and tried the same again. but the same problem persisted. ultimately it could assign the partion '/' only when i deleted pri-dos and recreated it with a 4gb size by 'fdisk' with one logical drive d: in ext-dos. this d: could be deleted and '/' could be created by disk-druid. but then, if i want to keep a 'dos16bit>=32m' partition as '/dosd', it can not be transferred to the ext-dos partition, i.e. no d: is recognized by windows even if i do fdisk from linux to write dos table in /dev/hda6 (i.e. in /dosd partition)! can anyone suggest me what is the possible wayout?
