Sorry to reply to my own post, but I got past that stage, and now I'm stuck with a problem that to me at least (being a total newbie, it's my first installation) is completely vexing. The hard drive is partitioned into five logical partitions each being about 2 GB and with the windoze letters c,d,e,f,g. But the installation finds 4 partitions. I assume the first is the MBR. The second is a size that fits the C drive, the third is the combined size of d,e,f, and g combined. The fourth is, I think, this partition that was part of a dell recovery system (rude huh) that is now corrupted anyway. my question is, how do I get it to recognize each of d-g individually?
