Hi Carl: I am trying to install Red Hat Linux on Sony's PCG-Z1P Notebook. There are two NTFS partitions on the 60 Gig drive.
However from Red Hat install, when using disk druid to create partitions for Linux , I do not even see the two NTFS partitions. It just shows 60 Gig as hda1 Attempt to create any partitions from disk druid failed for Linux (error is: Could not allocate requested partitions: partitioning failed: Could not allocate partitions as primary partitions) Did you encounterer these kind of issues with Dell laptops ? Any hints on what might be the issue here ? Thanks in advance Louis. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carl G Lewis > Sent: Sunday, 15 June 2003 15:28 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [SLUG] Linux in a Laptop. > > > On Sunday 15 June 2003 06:17, Enrique Vila wrote: > > > Which distribution would be more appropiate? > > What are your trying to do, start a flamewar ? :-) > > I have run Redhat 9 on several different Dell laptops quite > successfully, but > never on an IBM. > > If you are new to GNU/Linux, choose from Redhat, Mandrake or > Suse.
