- I am trying to instal the 2.1 Beta over what used to be
- GA+SP on a FAT partition in an extended logical drive.
-
- During my first attempt the mouse and winos2 part of the
- installation got hosed. For various reasons, I decided
- to reinstall from scratch. At disk 2 I got an error
- message that FDISK had failed and that I should do the
- escape after disk 1 trick to correct the problem. To
- my great amusement, the message offered no clue as to
- how to fix the problem so I tried running fdisk mannually
- after escapeing from the installation program. The "Set
- Installable" option was greyed out. I tried to delete
- and recreate the partition but could still not get it
- to be set installable. Is this something I am doing wrong
- or a bug?
-
- Any clues or similar experiences?
