I have found that if you just hit "g", it will report the correct disk geometry and fix the problem without any further intervention. Ideally, it would be better if this disk geometry bug gets fixed, but for the time being, hitting "g" is a quick and dirty fix that works for most people. I wouldn't just ignore the error message and install - I have indeed messed up my disk geometry that way and had to spend some time getting it back to the correct settings. regards, Robert On Wed, 3 Mar 2004 14:06:04 -0800 "Goodleaf, John M" <jgoodlea@fhcrc.org> wrote: > Also, does it really matter?
