IMPORTANT!! After the new partition is created and the file system is written, exit the Installation Program and your RedHat files should not be disturbed. If you don't exit they will be lost. I've been stuck and have just turned off the computer at that point and everything seemed to be ok. Sorry I didn't say this in the first message. Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm a novice, but I think if you use your redhat disk and run the install program until it comes to making partitions, it will recognize your win98 partition if you use fdisk. Then you can delete that partition andmake a new partition with a fat flesystem that will be recognized when you use a rescuedisk to reinstall windows 98. Of course if you do it this way all of the data on the old win98 partition will be lost. Hope this helps, Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Fri, 30 Jun 2000 08:44:58 +0800 "Stephen Liu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Hi all people, > > In my hard disk MSWindows98 and R.H.6.2 are co-existing, both > working > correctly.
