Hello there, I recently got a new hard drive. It's not formatted. I was installing fedora 9 on my machine. Its an interactive OS. There is an option which says install on hard drive. I clicked on it. On following the custom directions, it leads me to a point which says:
*Installation requires partitioning of your HDD. By default a partitioning layout is chosen which is reasonable for most users. You can either choose to use this or create your own.* Then it gives me 4 options: One of them is: *Remove all partitions on selected drives & create default layout* and 3 more options. But on selecting any of the 4 it doesn't proceed further. I think it needs to be formatted 1st. Further, I installed the Fedora 10 OS which is a normal OS (Not an interactive OS). It doesn't give me any option to format the PC. It throws me an error: An error has occurred - no valid devices were found on which to create new file systems. Please check your hardware for the cause of this problem. So i guess, first i need to have my HDD formatted. Anyone, any idea how to go about it? Suggestions are highly valued. Thanks.
