After installing ifthere is a problem booting into MSWin, boot into Linux and run that command (add -f for force). You may be able to avoid the warning and problem if you can set LBA mode in your BIOS before installing. The other thing that might work for you is installing with this boot line: linux hd=4866,255,63 Make sure you check out bugzilla: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=115980 Good Luck, Sean.
