The Zip is set to not installed in the BIOS, but the 98, XP, and Fedora had no problem seeing it after boot. Not sure why it is even looking at the disk. I choose to install using the exist linux partitions, so why the partition section was looking at the zip at all, and why it would result in a fatal error. > > Test on one of your machines, to see what happens for you. > > -- > [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r > 2.6.27.24-78.2.53.fc9.i686 > > Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
