Description of problem:
I have two hard disks primary master and primary slave on the machine. I was 
running (dual boot) windows and mandrake linux 8.1 rc2 previously, this time i 
tried installing redhat 7.3 vallhala on top of the mandrake partition as it's a 
spare machine.

while installing i found out that disk druid wrongly shows /dev/hda1 as swap 
while if i switch back to console and do fdisk /tmp/hda it shows the /dev/hda1 
as windows fat with the system ID b... even if i fdisk from mandrake it shows 
the same as shown in the pic.

anyways if i let it go without reformatting /dev/hda1 it ended up giving me the 
error after choosin the packages

error enabling swap device hda1:
Invalid argument
This most likely means this swap partition has not been initialized.


i do not want to loose windows partition. i tried again resinstalling mandrake 
and it worked without any glitch.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.it reproduces every time i insert the cd there is nothing typical i can  
write in here ... i am unable to install redhat in the first place itself, 
though other distro is working perfectly.

Additional info:

besides the fdisk here is the parted information
