I think the problem is that you can only have 4 Primary partitions on a disk. If you to convert one of the NTFS partitions to an extended partition, with the NTFS partition inside it. Personally, if you want to keep the 4 drive letters in windoz, I would back up the whole disk ("in case"), set up the disk with 1 Primary NTFS partition and an extended Partition with the other 3 NTFS partitions inside it. Leave the free space as free space and let the CentOS installer to use the free space as it sees fit

John: THANK YOU! That was it! I blew it away with QtParted and in a few minutes, I had it correct. The attention to detail was lacking on that box. I got the other 2 boxes up and running, without this frustration. Hopefully they are partitioned correctly. CentOS is now installing on that box. :-) Lanny _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I'm glad to help. I'm new to CentOS, playing around with my first install at the moment. I have played around with partitions and file systems though and thought that might have been your problem.
