I've done searches at the list archive and FAQ-O-MATIC for similar problems, but it would seem I've found a new one.
System Config: IBM PC 300PL 368Mb RAM 10Mb IDE HDD, 512Mb FAT, 3092 NTFS, remainder unpartitioned Windows NT 4 SP5 (required for RealWork(tm)) Goal: Install Debian on the unpartitioned region of the disk and modify boot.ini to run bootsect.lnx as an option. (Which I have done on several other machines without any difficulty.) Problem: On running install.bat from DOS (512Mb FAT partition), I cannot get cfdisk to run successfully. The error message reports that "THE PARTITION IS CORRUPT!" and then offers to wipe the partition table for me and start over - not exactly the best choice option for me. Question: Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be causing the error? Has this been seen before and I missed the post? Or is this a bug report for the maintainer/upstream developer? TIA, - BOHICA
