I have an HDD of 40 GD of which 1st partition is 20GB Fat32 and
other partition is a non dos parition
on the first partition i have installed windows 2K now i tried to
install redhat 7.1 on the 2nd partition but when creating a new
linux native partition using disk druid it gives me error that
it cannot allocate partitions and the reason as boot partition
1024 cylinders whereas i can create a swap partition
just as i cant create a linux partition i cant proceed with the
installtion can any one guide me how to come over this problem

Modern bioses have no problem with booting from behind the 1024-cylinder limit. If disk druid is stubborn and refuses to create the partitions, create them with fdisk.
