Ok this is all discussed on the boards. Just go ahead and delete all linux partitions as it asks. It will only wipe the one partition if it is what I think you're talking about. I know it looks a little scary if you're not use to linux but all goes well.

This is the result of a mis understanding about how the PS3 handles the hard drive. It's an easy mistake to make. The PS3 GameOS was used to "partition" the hard drive into GameOS and OtherOS (YDL) sections. The GameOS section is completely hidden from the OtherOS, which just thinks that the hard drive is a bit smaller. The OtherOS section is not actually formatted or partitioned for real by the GameOS. So when the OtherOS (YDL) gets to be installed, it sees a completely blank hard drive, with no partition table or anything. Just go ahead and format the drive. Your game data is not at all visible to YDL, and you can't harm it in any way. _______________________________________________ yellowdog-newbie mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-newbie
