- Known Problem! I had the same myself.
-
- The trick is: use the FDISK *from within the installation procedure*!
- If you use the FDISK directly from the command prompt, the Set
- Installable option is not available. If you do exactly the same from the
- installation procedure, this option *is* available.
-
- Stupid problem. But the workaround is easy, as you see.
