What Linux distribution are you attempting to install?
Do you have any special circumstances? (dual booting with another OS?)

i just dont know how to install i didnt understand how can i boot with my cd-rom (what i booting ! )

iam a real newbie heheh :P

Slap Redhat Disk one in your CD-ROM.
Restart the computer,
Hit Del to enter setup,
and change your bios so it boots from CD-ROM.
Save and exit.

ok ?

i will try and come back :)

here is what i got it worked greatly ..

untile i got this error


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

HeLLo any 1 ~!!!~

you have free space yes, but the problem is that your free space is formatted in what I assume to be windows partitions. you need to create free space that is not a part of any partition. There are several programs that can help you do this. their names escape me at the moment, hopefully the next person will be able to recall them

shane

then use fdisk to remove all your partitons.

i think he wants to keep his partitions, dual boot probaly. so we need to resize the partitions
