I learned about Fedora Project from a Computer Magazine and decided to install Fedora Core 3 on my computer.But I can't install it due to some installation errors.
My computer is Pentium 4 with 256 MB of RAM and has Windows 98(FAT 32), Windows XP(NTFS) and RedHat Linux 8.0 installed in it. I booted the Fedora Core 3 Installation CD#1 to upgrade from Redhat 8 to Fedora Core 3. It detects my hardware well. But after selecting my KeyBoard Layout it pauses for some time and gives a message "
Input/Output error during read on /dev/hda ". After I press the Ignore and Cancel buttons for some times, it moves to "Select Installation Type" stage and then prompts for the partition procedure(Automatic or with Disk Druid). Whatever I select it gives an error message "
Invalid Partition Table on /dev/hda - wrong signature 678c" and then gives the message "[B]No valid devices were found to create new file systems. Please check your hardware for the cause of the problem[B]". But my hardwares seems to be OK and all OS'es works properly. Only the Fedora Core 3 Installation is giving errors. I also tested by installing RedHat 8. It worked fine.
Please suggest me how to get rid of this problem as I really want to install Fedora Core 3.
