Hi, I'm trying to install Mandrake 7 power pack on a PIII pc with a 20GB disk (IBM Deskstar) with Windows98. I opted for 'Recommended' install and resized my Windows partition to about 9.5GB and did an 'auto allocate' on the remaining disk space. DrakeX created /, swap and /home partitions but warned that a /root partition is needed for LILO. It let me continue the installation however, but I'm getting the following message when I tried to create a Custom Boot disk: "Installation of LILO failed. The following error occurred: geo_comp_addr:Cylinder number is too big (1200 > 1023)". This is the first time I'm installing Linux and I thought Mandrake is one of the easiest to install. Can my Win98 partition be this big (>8.4GB) or I need to reduce the size of my Win98 partition? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Raja ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup
