[ILUG-BOM] boot partition >1024 cylinders.

[shahazad at antispam]

Hi all,
i have a 20 GB HDD & have win2000 preinstalled on it with just one primary 
partition (C: drive). & the disk is filled upto 55% of its capacity, now i want 
to install Linux on it by making a another partition & installing 2 OS's over 
it which i have done many a times but as my current HDD has just 1 partition & 
is filled upto 10 GB i face a problem while installing RH 7.1 

The error i am getting is --> boot partition >1024 cylinders.

.. well i created the partition using *fips* utility which partitions without 
loosing the data on the drive present currently but when tried to install it 
gave me the error above again & again & was unable to install linux(sorry 
GNU/linux) ;)

i guess this problem is becoz the boot partition or may be the primary 
partition shouldnt exceed 3 gb..

plz suggest me a solution ..i tried to find bootpartition software but i didnt 
get it on the net & also donno how to fiddle with it.

Thanx
cheers~
