I have run fdisk from a rescue disk to layout partitions before, then used
disk druid to set where each one was mounted....
perhaps creating an exendend partition under winblows first might help.
I found with redhat 6 problems with the pcmcia support disk, can you do without
it for your install?
I just setup a machine with a 20 gig hard disk so it is possible.
Make sure if you use an extended partition it starts before cylinder 1023 that
cna help on some BIOSes.
and that your / filesystem is fully addressable within the first 1023 cylinders
(Hands up who thinks when they invented LBA, they should have fixed it
properly!)
