Hi,
I am installing Red hat 8.0 on my machine. After initializing keyboard/mouse, when it reaches partition window, Installation process throws a message saying...
"LINUX has read BIOS geometry incorrectly ...... LBA is preferred".
I ignored this warning and partitioned the HDD. but when package installation started , it again gave me an error,
"Can not format or create swap partition, This error is critical. Reboot now".
Next time when I did FDISK, it gave me an error "Write protect error writing fixed disk."
Whenever I create any partition using fdisk, created partition is always NON-DOS.
Is this problem with my HDD ? Initially I had win2K on this HDD , most of the time BIOS was not detecting boot record of win2K. After 4/5 hard reboot , it used to start properly.
