I don't understand what you tried to do. If you boot the 4.7-RELEASE
install CD-ROM, sysinstall(8) utility starts and guides you through the
installation sequence. If you use the builtin fdisk frontend, you never
should be bothered with harddisk geometry.

Depends on what you expect.

I recomment to stay at 4.7 and if you have some staying power. If you
give up fast, try a current SuSE - they are much close to windows but free.
