Firstly its late, secondly i dont quite understand what you are trying to
do, i will put it this way, you buy a new drive, in its "raw state" you
install it as drive D:\ (in dos language) thats the second drive on the
primary ide interface, now you start up your computer like you normaly do,
you check your BIOS setup to see that the drive has been detected properly,
or you enter the parameters yourself, you save the info and the computer
automaticly reboots.
Win9x starts or dos whatever, you "cd" to the cdrom and make the nessasary
disks for booting linux, you make them with rawrite.exe and exit windows or
dos, whatever.
You boot again (pehw), this time with the bootdisks, now redhat will use
"fdisk" or "disk druid" to partition the disk with "linux native partitions"
and make a swap space, of course you will be asked a lot of questions about
what and where it all has to be done.
Now just where does FAT32 come into all this. ????
I must be missing something here, well i did say its late here.
