Fedora 3 Instal. Problem (could not allocate requested partitions)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello everyone.

I am very new to Linux (Fedora in particular) and I am
having a hard time getting up and running. I have a
Gateway Pentium III 500 MHz with 128 MB of RAM running
Windows 98 (with 10 GB free space). I have reformatted
my hard drive and reinstalled Win. 98. I then tried to
install Fedora 3 and at the prompt where I specify
"keep all partitions and use existing free space," so
as to have a duel boot system, an error message comes
back that says "Could not allocate requested
partitions." This happens with the auto partition
option. I have no idea how to do the necessay steps
manually, but it seems that the auto partition option
should work. After closing that error message, another
comes back that says "you have not defined a root (/)
partion which is required for installation of Fedora."
I'm guessing this is a simple problem to fix, I just
don't know where to get started. 

Thank you very much for any help you might be able to
provide. Have a good one,
Ken
