Formating the file system (for a workstation install) goes OK until it 
finishes the /var partition on the slave IDE hard disk.  I then receive 
the following error meesage... 

"Error mounting hdb1: Invalid argument.  An internal error occurred in the
installation process".  

A week before, I successfully installed the Red Hat server on the slave 
drive which was the primary drive at the time. 

Could the Master Boot Record on the current slave be a problem?  Could it 
have LILO still installed in the MBR from my original installation?  I 
used a Win 98 startup disk and then did a <fdisk /mbr> at the A:\ prompt, 
in an attempt to restore the MBR.
From Win98 fdisk it says it has an Active non-dos partition, so how can I
blow this away and leave it totally clean for linux hdb.   Windows fdisk
will not let me delete this 'unknown' partition.

Here is the code that I saved:
