Guys, please help.
I am brand new to this OS, in fact, I haven't even installed it yet. Here is what happenned. I had Win98 with 2 gigantic partitions w/ no room for linux. I tried to run fips but it didn't work after which I guess my hard drive got erased or reformatted or something. Anyway, I started loading Linux anyhow, when I got to Disk Druid, I just deleted windows partitions and created the native and the swap partitions. Everything seemed to go okay until the actual formatting/installation process. At that point it just hung there and I had to turn it off. Now when I try to do installation over again the installer tell me that there is an error reading the partitions (but of course, I don't have any partitions on there! That's what disk druid was supposed to create, right?) I am not sure what to do. I killed my win 98, and I have this hard drive that I can't do anything with, and I am really confused. Can you please help??
Thank you
