This is obvious if u have forgotten to run "lilo -u" before formating your
disk.
The reason for this is the boot entry in Master boot record(MBR). you should erase
this
entry before trying to install the new version. The option left for you will be to
make a
startup disk for windows or dos 6.22 and boot ur system using it.
At cmd prompt type A:\> fdisk /mbr and reboot your system now use redhat startup
disk
and u should be through.
cheers
