[NTLUG:Discuss] Partition Table problems

[Dennis Myhand]

Thanks for the info Alex but I tried that and my problems seem to be more
serious.  It will not get that far into the install.  It gets to the making
of partitions then fails and tells me the partition table is corrupted.  It
also offers a menu.  Could I possibly do what you suggest through that?
Thanks again, Dennis in Waco
