I am having Mandrake 10.1 and Windows XP installed on
My Laptop. Now I want to switch over to Fedora Core.
But when i am trying to install Fedora: AT the disk
partitioning step a warning message appears (both with
manual partitioning as well as with automatic
partitioning):
" The partition table on device hda was unreadable.
To create new partition it must be initialized,
causing the loss of all data on this drive."
after pressing "NO" Next message comes:
"No valid devices were found on which create to new
filesystems. Please check your hardware for the cause
of this problem"
My disk partitions are as follows:
Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 654 5253233+ 12 Compaq
Diagnostics
/dev/hda2 * 4480 6391 15358140 7
