Alright, I have a 20GB HD. on the first 9GB I have an NTFS partition w/ WinXP, on the last 5 GB of the drive I have a FAT32 partition for storage and whatnot. in the middle of these was pure free space. When I start installing red hat 7.3 and use disk druid for the partitioning I got a message that said something like "cannot allocate disk space for this partition" and I had the choice of 'modify' or 'add anyways',, eventually after trying different things, I went with 'add anyways'. I installed Linux from there, but my 2nd CD was bad so I had to stop there, but I figured it would still do something on the reboot, but I got no bootloader or anything (I chose GRUB), it just went straight into XP. I know it had already formatted, and I figured it had wrote a new MBR as well, but obviously it hadn't did the latter.
Anyoen know why I would be getting the "cannot allocate disk space" message? And yes, I had enough space, in fact I was getting this message when I was simply adding a 500mb /var partition (although I didn`t get the message when I added the /swap, but did for everything else as well).
