How did you partition the drive? Did you create DOS partitions with something like fdisk?
Do you intend to dual boot? If not I would wipe out all of the partitions and allow the redhat install to partition the drive itself.
If you do want to dual boot, create one partiton for the other OS (yeah I know its probably windoze but who knows, you may wan to install OS/2 warp instead!;o) and leave the rest unpartitioned and do the partitioning during the linux setup. You'll probably want a minimum of three partitions for linux, so bear in mind that you have a 4 primary partition limit.
