Re: problem in installing linux in hardisk of 20gb



Hi,
The win95 partition is in primary.
The win2000 in loaded in logical partition on ntfs.  But fdisk reports the
nt boot loader is located in the first partition.
I am trying to install linux in the last logical partition.

The problem i am facing is i am not able to proceed with installation at all
(to the lilo stage).  My previous installation on a 8gb hard disk went
through very well.
