Well I forgot to check file system type, your are right ; I mean second
partition is free is there are not any system files used by Windowz and
user data file in D: ; more accurately saying, it is free space. When I
used my boot disk, I can run fdisk and it detects all partitions and the
file system on each; no problem, just the install disk in RedHat has this
problem. I suspect the kernel in RedHat 6.0 is rather old? or the kernel
is not general enough to detect at boot?
I will try as you said. I installed into my computer like that way.
Use my custom boot disk, run fdisk make two pations, one for swap one for
ext2. Then make ext2 on the second one (I dont like RedHat format as it
always uses b=1024 instead of b=4096 and I dont want any space for super
user for home reason so I make it use my own tool). After that I use
install redhat disk and run without making ext2 again.
So in my opinion, even no free space to create new partitions when you run
fdisk in redhat disk, you can still detect all the available partitions
(even it is not ext2) then you can modify it, change system id to linux
and write it, after that use the istall program to make ext2 on it. (At
least I have two now already) why it can not detect this? just say
error? I really think there must be some thing wrong with the kernel in
the install disk but can not work around this problem.
Thanks for your help. I will let you know the result of the second try
Steve
