I fdisked my Fujitsu 3 Gig hard drive. I wanted everything deleted to install Linux 7.0, to "play" with. Somehow I made a wrong turn and I can't format the hard drive. I went through the steps of "killing" everything, then I formatted the drive and made an active partition. I know that Linux doesn't need the partition, but I did it anyways in hopes to have this process work. Anyways, just as I am getting to the format part (A:>format C: /s), I get the kick back: unable to format network drive. I did the A:>C: , and I then typed in C:>dir, and nothing! I even tried a low-level format disk, no success. I even tried installing a Win 98 boot disk. When it seemed to have taken, there was a kick back during my Linux 7.0 install, at the manual configuration of disk druid, that the previous partitioned drive was corrupt. Then the system shut down. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Dandlion

use RedHat cd and use custom partition (disk druid). Delete all the partitions if you have created any. Then make two partitions 1. swap partition (amount of memory will be your Ram size) 2. / (ext2) partition for the rest of the hard drive. Now you should be able to install RedHat. If you still have problem partition magic can help you.

pcdoc, Hey, it worked, without having to use partition magic! Thanks!
