The harddisk had three previous partions first (boot partition) is DOS16 300 MB, Second NTFS 1.6 GB third NTFS 2 GB. Windows NT 4 is in second partion, the remaining space is partioned as / - root 1.8 GB (4th partition) /usr 2 GB 5th partition /var 300 MB and swap 250 MB.

For additional info, I have installed Redhat 6.0 and 6.2 in the same computer, same partions before successfully. V.
