how to install red hat 7.0
 
I installed PartitionMagic professional 6.0 on my windows98 . I have 28GB harddrive. I resized partition for windows98 as 8GB. I created new partition with 6GB for redhat which is ext2 filesystem. Also I had a swapspace 0.5 GB. Others space is unallocated.
I changed CD-Rom as first bootable device. Now I am ready to install redhat7.0.
When I tried to install:
step1. language I choose English
step2. keyboard I choose Generic 101-key PC
step3. install type I choose Workstation
Then I got error message:
An error has occurred-no valid devices were found on which to create new filesystems. Please check your hardware for the cause of this problem.
I clicked OK,system is rebooting.I installed PartitionMagic professional 6.0 on my windows98 . I have 28GB harddrive. I resized partition for windows98 as 8GB. I created new partition with 6GB for redhat which is ext2 filesystem. Also I had a swapspace 0.5 GB. Others space is unallocated.

try doing a custom install... also you might want to create a empty partition near the beginning of the hard drive so you can create a /boot and maybe swap partition... /boot being about 16 megs in size and a swap of about 100 megs...
