after partitioning my drive (Maxtor 6.4 Gig) to install Mandrake it
tells me I have no swap space defined, that's the first partition I
added (64MB = RAM) along w/ root '/' (100MB), and /usr (700MB). if I
choose to continue anyway it gets all the way to formatting the
partitions and says something about 'can't mount drive' and disk druid
(also used to create partitions) won't access drive anymore
(/dev/hda1), says 'bad or missing file' (or close to that). ALT+F5
says 'can't read superchunk' (and other stuff, that's the only error)
I'm not new to Unix type OS's so I have some understanding of what I'm
doing. I used Fips from dos to split the partition for Linux, made
900MB for it, am booting from CD-ROM, and used disk druid for
partitioning.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mike
