Install/mount problems with TP770Z/14.1Gb HD

[Richard Seymour]

Hello Eric,

I just went through this with my sister. If you can get a copy of
Partition Magic, you probably don't need to install Win. Just use the
text based version of PM (called pqmagict.exe I believe), and boot
from a DOS floppy. Slide all your partitions to spots below the 1024th
cylinder. (One partition can overlap and go above it.) Then Redhat 6.0
should install.
