- Install won't create it's own partition on my machine. Every time I try
- to install it it tells me I already have it installed and it only
- asks me if I want to overwrite it. I say yes. Then it says use the
- whole disk, and I say no. Then it quits.
- Before that it says 0 mb free on disk.
- When I de-installed 386bsd, because I wanted to have a dos partition too..
- i used the "fdisk /mbr" command to remove it.
- now I can't get it to say I don't have it on anymore.
- I have a Segate 106 meg IDE drive.
- please help me out, and all the other people who are having the same trouble.
- any guesses?
