It's strange that FDISK doesn't list C:. Likely you'll be able to press 'q' as input at the installer screen, which will abort setup. If you definately want to ensure the harddisk isn't listed, temporarily disable your IDE/SATA controller in BIOS or disconnect the connection cables. > I'm reluctant to continue with the installation at risk of clobbering > data on the hard disk.

I've never seen FDISK not mention C: unless there wasn't a FAT partition yet. You should be able to safely continue, most setup code is written in Batch-script language instead of some compiled program. > In any case, there can be only one target part and reference to both C: > and D: in this display is a bug, isn't it? Seems like FDISK picked the wrong disk or your machine (or FreeDOS kernel) is happy to assign C: to a drive that's not counted as harddisk but as a huge removable drive.
