Make a small 8 meg or so partition at the front of your drive and set that
to active and then tell linux to install its boot partition there and you
should be fine

Subject: [newbie] Boot Partition too big...
Heya guys,
(before I start, I did check the archives and I did see a couple messages
about this , but they all related to FAT32 systems...)
I just installed Win2k on a new 13 gig HD which I fdisk'ed into a 11 gig and
a 2 gig partition. I want to try Mandrake out, but whenever I try to
install Mandrake, I get an error during disk druid which reads "Boot
Partition too big." This occurs even when I make a 1 meg linux partition
and mount it at /.
Any ideas? Do I *really* have to format, switch to LBA, and reinstall?!
thanks
Dave
