linux,multiboot and partition tables

by javier030664 . Updated 20 years, 11 months ago

Hello everybody! I got a problem when installing Linux, i always heard in a multiboot enviroment the first thing to install are the windows system then the linux, well i got install a few windows in my computer, and when i want to install Fedora or red hat 9 it appears: “unreadable partition table…” etc warning me if i want to make a new partition table losing all the data…so how could i fix that? i tried installing Red Hat 6.2 and it reads the partition table so is the problem the anaconda? Indeed i installed Red Hat 6.2 but i cann’t make it work the StartX cause the drivers are not installed for my computer which is a HP Pavilion 6609. I tried with Knoppix and it loads perfect although the Qparted again doesn’t recognize the partition of my harddisk…so nothing to work out from there…Does someone know a work around to install Linux when it happens? maybe should i writte a classic MBR then install Linux? Any suggestion is welcome..thanks
Javier
