here is my problem


when i try to install linux red hat 9
this is what i got

error partitioning
could not allocate requested partitions :
partitioning failed could not allocate requested partitions as primary partitions


and another error after it

something about you have not defind a root partition or no disk space



but i got more than 50 GB free

and when i choose the partitions there is 2 only but i got 4 c:\ , d:\ , f:\ g:\
7 GB in c free and 8 GB in d free

maybe thats why i cant ?
maybe they are the only 2 shown !
38 GB free in F and 28 free in G

Maybe c: and d: are using FAT or NTFS and Linux
can't use that for an installation? Maybe you should
chose Reiserfs or ext3?

can u tell me how iam a newbi in these things

It would help if you could post what OS (if any) you have on all your partitions and where you want to put RH

i dont know what u mean of OS
and i want to put RH anywhere i can
(i didnt use linux before thats why iam a newbie )

Would be easiest to delete the two partitions
using RH's installation tools (I don't use RH,
so don't know how EXACTLY you go about it)
and tackle it from there...
