Cannot install RedHat Linux on this partition configuration! Please Help!

I have a 20 gig harddrive (actually 19.5), and I partitioned it to be 7 gigs (windows - FAT32), 10 gigs (windows-FAT32), 2.5 gigs (Linux Native) and the remaining 100 or so megs (Linux Swap).
However, When I tried to install redhat, it said that it cannot install because hda's geometry is wrong for Linux.

My partition configuration in the correct order is as follows (table form):
7 gigs - FAT32
10 gigs - FAT 32
2.5 gigs - Linux
100 megs - Linux Swap

Thanks a lot for helping!
 
Use Mandrake 8.0 or change your configuration. RedHat still needs to be within the first 8GB (a 20-100MB /boot partition would be fine).
 
You can use partition magic to move your partitions around. If you have more linux experience, you might want to try a more capable ditro.
