Installation Help.



 
Hello.
 
I'm new to Linux and would like some help getting started.
 
I cannot get through the installation process for v.7.3, particularly creating a new partition.
 
It asks me if I would like the installer to do it for me, and to select the proper drive:
 
hda: WDC WD400BB-563LBO
 
Am I sure I want to do this to /dev/hda ?
 
When I click yes it says
 
Could not allocate requested partitions
Partitioning failed, Coul not allocate
Partition as primary partition
 
I'm not quite sure what this means except that perhaps Redhat doesn't think I have a hardrive.
 
I'm using a Gateway computer with XP on it and have been loading the Redhat install program by simply putting the disk in and rebooting.
 
Is there any easy way around this?  Any replies or a link to a support page that has covered this problem would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks for your help,
Daniel
