144064 2003-05-14 09:50:00 I've got 4 partitions on my 13 GB HD, one FAT32 for win98 SE, an ext2 for mandrake 9.0, a blank ext2 and a linux swap partition.

Now I want to put redhat 9.0 on the blank ext2 one, but the redhat install program spits out it can't read the partition table and must initialize the drive... Reformatting the blank ext2 doesn't help.

Any ideas.

144066 2003-05-14 11:49:00 RH9 certainly supports ext2 and ext3.

Sometimes I have found that you can have non-critical partition problems. Try using Partition Magic to see if it detects any errors - if it does it will find them on loadup and ask if you want to fix them.

Might help?
