[NTLUG:Discuss] Partition Table problems

[Alex.Coker@ipaper.com]

Simply run through the RedHat installation and let it overwrite the ext2
filesystem. This won't damage the Win95 partitions.

Subject: [NTLUG:Discuss] Partition Table problems

I give fair warning that this is a "newbie has done something stupid"
question.

I got a cd the other day with TurboLinux 4.0 lite on it.  I tried to
install but the install failed during the partitioning process.  I quit
and went and did something else.  When I later went back to my machine
to try and start RedHat 6.0, I found I could not boot the kernel.  I
tried my rescue disk and this did not help either.  I then tried to
re-install RedHat 6.0 and I now get the error that there is something
wrong with my partition table and the install fails at that point.  My
question is:

Is there anyway I can get RedHat 6.0 re-installed on this dual boot
machine without having to format and re-partition the hard drive,
thereby losing everything in my Win95 system?

Thanks, Dennis in Waco
