The error was: No such file or directory. 2 choices Retry or Skip Disk. Retry produced: The error was:Success, Skip disk produced: no valid devices were found in which to create new filesystems. Please check your hardware for the cause of this problem. I'm a beginner at this, so it would be helpful if you could let me know what to do (in english). I have an HP Pavilion xl776, with an AMD Athlon 850MHz processor w/3DNow. The hard drive is 60G. OS is Windows98 2E (this is why I need Linux).
If you choose manual partitioning with disk druid, what are the 3 numbers next to the /dev/hda summary at the bottom. Should be something like (numbers will be different): hda [1216/255/63] 9538M 0M 9538M <bar of color> 100%
I never get to the point where I can choose manual partitioning. During expert install, as soon as I hit next for the type of installation(workstation, server or custom) I get the error reading partition table message.
