Installation Problem
 
Hi,

I've run into a problem when installing Fedora Core.

I have two HDs and set up as follows:

HD1: two partitions, XP(C/) and a 4G partition for Red Hat 7.2 (not yet installed)

HD2 (80G): formated into 4 partitions, two of which I want to install Fedora and Debian.

I have used Partition Magic and pre-partitioned the HD before I tried to install Fedora. When asked to select a partition to install, both my intended linux partitions yields a "cannot install because root directory is not defined" error message.

Is this message due to the way I partioned the HD? Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Cheers!

In the installation make sure that you mark the parition as the "/" root partition and not just mark it as a partition you want to format.
