hurry!!dual boot


Hi!

Can someone tell what should I do more...

I'm tryin to install win98se and fc3 to dual boot but there is some odd things happening.

I have new 40 GB hard drive, I used fdisk to create 20 GB to win98se and I left rest empty. I installed win without problem but when I try to install fc3 it doesn't make partitioning. It says something about geometry and can't make /. No I tried install only fc3 and it is going without problem...What souhd I do??

This is my friends machine so that why that win on the disk

Try using fdisk to set up all of the partitions. Then tell FC3 which existing partition to use as /.
