Installation problem: probe_partition_for_geom()

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

 



Hello,

I'm having problems installing. Everytime I choose a language and keyboard setting, I get some pop-up windows. The title of these pop-ups is 'bug' and they contain the following messages.

'assertion (sectors <=63) at disk_dos.c:490 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed'

'assertion ((c*heads+h)*sectors + s==a) at disk_dos.c:494 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed'

'assertion ((C*heads+H)*sectors+S at disk_dos.c:495 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed'

From other posts on the internet I understand that these messages have something to do with my partition table but I can't find a way to make them go away.

I already got two OS's installed on the same computer ('98 and XP) but on different hard drives. I wish to install FC on my second hard drive with Xp on it. I previously partitioned this drive with windows' fdisk, creating two 50% partitions of which I used the last one to install XP to. I deleted the other partition to install FC to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

regards,

Maarten
