Subject: [newbie] Can't install Mandrake 7.0
Dear List,
I'm hoping some kind soul will help me with this... I'm a Mac
user so keep it simple;-)))
I'm attempting to install Mandrake 7.0 on an old Compaq.
I start up with the boot floppy that came with the Mandrake pack,
I also have CD disk one in the CD drive.
The machine boots on the floppy Ok.
It then says:
boot:
Loading CDrom.rdz......
Loading vmlinuz.......
(wait)
Initializing CD rom
In second stage install
(wait)
I am then asked to choose a language
(I choose Uk English and hit return)
I then choose the 'recommended install' and hit return
I then choose to 'Install' rather than 'Upgrade' and hit return
I then get an error message saying "An error occurred, No
available partitions"
I have not formatted the hard drive yet, I'm expecting to be
given that option in the next window. I am *not* wanting a dual
boot system, Linux only!!
Any ideas?
Many thanks
