Well, I did, with the result that Lilo says "First sector of /dev/hdb1 doesnt
have a valid boot signature

My problems start after 1 - : When I choose the advanced install, a message
comes up "partitions too small. Do one of the following:
- Press Enter to modify the partition sizes
- Press F3 to exit to the command prompt "
If I press Enter, the well known message " partition mapping on drive 2 may be
corrupted " appears. Inspite of that I went to disk 2, choosed "partition
information -> options menu". The only availaible option is "delete
partition". After deleting all partitions in HD 2 no option at all remains.
FDisk wants to continue deleting partitions in HD 1 ( a very hungry program ;-)
) and the show ends. I have to activate the emergency brake and leave FDISK
with F3 exiting without saving !
That is the basic problem: I have a wonderfull empty 8 GB HD and a program
that refuses to be installed there !
