Hello Friends,

I have my home pc and previously it was dual boot as windows and linux.

I want to reinstall rhel5.5(32 bit) but I am not able to do so and getting following error:
------------------------------------------
Error partitioning
Could not allocate requested partitions:
partitioning failed: could not allocate
partitions as primary partitions
Not enough space left to create partition
for /boot

ok
-----------------------------------------
But 100GB partition showing for linux reader utility Unallocated space 99.56 gb

I have tried to create partition using custom, using all linux space and all options but getting same error.
HDD is SATA drive with quad processor..

How can we install it, I need to do xen virtualization for RHEL 436 exam practice.

Your help is required!!

Thanks-
Shankar

Please choose "Create custom layout" instead of "Use free space.."

Then highlight the preferred partition and click 'Edit'.

Tick OK for partitioning the "partition sdaXx"
and next select the mount point ( / ).

It's working now,
Previously my system was dual boot and after reinstalling windows I have created 4 primary partition and that is the issue.
I was able to see the all partitions but can't install linux. So I have deleted one primary partition and cteated extended and on that logical partion and then install RHEL5.5 with xen.

Thanks-
Shankar
