Hi All,

I am a linux newbie. After working with my loveable FEDORA 10 for months, i found it a bit slower. I wanted to try with slackware this time. I already had Windows XP and fedora in my 80 GB SATA disk. Now i allotted 15 GB ( SWAP + / + /home/usr ). During my installation i encountered no issues. Slackware was nice. After installation, the system starts with an error "Invalid Partition Table".

I cursed myself for not reading all the documents and help for the slackware installation and wiped the whole disk ( i had no important datas ). And this time, first i installed Fedora 10. ANd then alloted the space as previous for the slackware installation. When i completed installation successfully, again i faced the same error "Invalid Partition Table".

I do not know what to do at this scenario. Because, when i try to read the partition tables with some rescue disks, i can see it well. But i do not know what part of slackware i am missing with. And i do not find any issues in the slackware installation media also.

Note :
Both the times i have installed the LILO which was provided with slackware. Do i need to try without installing LILO from slack and go with the bootloader provided by fedora?

I want to have Win XP, Fedora and slackware in my PC (80 GB ).


Thanks for reading till end
