Created attachment 13103 [details] Install problem repeat
I am installing from my hard drive to a PII 400 MHz computer with a partitionless install. I've dowloaded all the updates for anaconda and every other update. I made sure the install is less than 2047 MB as directed with a FAT 32 hard drive.
There is currently a restriction that you cannot do a partitionless install to the same partition you are using for a hard drive install source. Is this your situation?
Yes, that is exactly what I am doing!!! Is there a way to install RedHat to the same hard drive that it is downloaded to? Do I have to partition my hardrive, and if I do so, do I lose all my data that is already there? Thanks.
It looks like the Automatic Partition selection should work, but will that destroy any of my existing non-Linux data (i.e. all my stuff I collected under Windows 98 over the past 3 years)? I currently have no Linux software on my hard drive and it is a 12 GB single partition drive. Thanks in advance.
Do you have free space on your hard drive? If you windows partition(s) use the entire disk you cannot add Linux partitions until you use a windows utility to resize your partitions.
