Hi all, i have a 20 GB HDD & have win2000 preinstalled on it with just one primary partition (C: drive). & the disk is filled upto 55% of its capacity, now i want to install Linux on it by making a another partition & installing 2 OS's over it which i have done many a times but as my current HDD has just 1 partition & is filled upto 10 GB i face a problem while installing RH 7.1
The error i am getting is --> boot partition >1024 cylinders.
.. well i created the partition using *fips* utility which partitions without loosing the data on the drive present currently but when tried to install it gave me the error above again & again & was unable to install linux(sorry GNU/linux) ;)
i guess this problem is becoz the boot partition or may be the primary partition shouldnt exceed 3 gb..
plz suggest me a solution ..i tried to find bootpartition software but i didnt get it on the net & also donno how to fiddle with it.
Thanx cheers~ </shahazad>
