I booted an old knoppix CD and deleted all the partitions on the drive that it found. I then created a partition just so that there would be one. I then booted from the FC3 CDs created the rest of the partitions and everything installed just as it should have! Thanks for the reply. (I got my hint from the FAQs that said that when using SCSI disks, the "true" geometry of the disks didn't matter. The controller would take care of everything. Thanks again, Mark
