[NCLUG] Problem installing

[Kerry Miller]

Hi Bonnell,

If you build an ISO of a live run from CD or DVD and run fdisk to see if 
the disk is recognizable in the first place.  I usually make a 20Gb 
partition as the first partition to put the operating system and 
applications in  and see if you can get anywhere that way.  You may have 
something funky with your system also.
