the drive. I ran sfdisk on /dev/hda (the drive on which FC3 was installed) and got the following: Checking that no-one is using this disk right now ... BLKRRPART: Permission denied OK Disk /dev/hda: 79656 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors/track Old situation: Warning: The partition table looks like it was made for C/H/S=*/255/63 (instead of 79656/16/63). For this listing I'll assume that geometry.

Just for informational purposes, before I installed FC3 I was running WinXP and it crashed also. That's why I installed FC3. Is it possible the hard drive is bad?
Having a PT which looks "different" from the actual physical disc is not all that unusual. It's certainly possible that you have some kind of hardware failure, but not necessarily the drive. Have you tried the disc in a simliar computer? It could be the interface electronics. Mike
