Hello Creative,

If I understood your problem, I already had this problem too.

You said that you already have installed WindowsXP, right? Then, if you didn't made any partitioning, you must to. I used the FIPS, that came into the Red Hat CD, in DOSUTILS folder. To use it, you must to defrag your Windows before, because fips create a new partition at the end of your disk. After partitioning, start the installation of RH 7.3 and start the firsts configurations, like keyboard, language, etc. When arrives the moment of choose the partitions to install RH, you must create a new SWAP Partition and Root Partition. Delete the partition created with fips and create a SWAP partition with the size of 256 Mb (depends of the size of your RAM size, generaly we create a swap partition with the size of 2xRAM, but 128 or 256 its a good size). ONLY in the Root partition you choose the mount point. The mount point is "/" and choose the opttion to the system fill all the free space. I think that this is a simple explanation for what you must do.

I hope I have understood your problem. Any doubt, email me.

See ya!

PS.: Consult the RH website. They have good tutorial there.
