Hello,
I'm having problems installing. Everytime I choose a language and
keyboard setting, I get some pop-up windows. The title of these pop-ups
is 'bug' and they contain the following messages.
'assertion (sectors <=63) at disk_dos.c:490 in function
probe_partition_for_geom() failed'
'assertion ((c*heads+h)*sectors + s==a) at disk_dos.c:494 in function
probe_partition_for_geom() failed'
'assertion ((C*heads+H)*sectors+S at disk_dos.c:495 in function
probe_partition_for_geom() failed'
From other posts on the internet I understand that these messages have
something to do with my partition table but I can't find a way to make
them go away.
I already got two OS's installed on the same computer ('98 and XP) but
on different hard drives. I wish to install FC on my second hard drive
with Xp on it. I previously partitioned this drive with windows' fdisk,
creating two 50% partitions of which I used the last one to install XP
to. I deleted the other partition to install FC to. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
regards,
Maarten
Maarten, goedemorgen,
This has been discussed heaps on the net and the net.
I don't have a URL handy right now, but type the first error message
into google.
Your looking for a cfdisk command that loops into itself and re-aligns
part of your disk. I had to do this as well. Worked flawlessly.
