All the partitions of the 3909 MB drive I'm using are read as _double_ their actual size (e.g. a 1024000 byte partition looks like it's 2048000 bytes). I haven't gone any further in the installation process because I'd like to avoid wiping out both Win95 and WinNT, which are already installed (I'm prepared for them to be wiped out, I'd just rather avoid it). I successfully installed 2.2.6 and 2.2.7 on this same machine without any problems at all. Can anyone explain this to me? Please cc any reply, because I'm not on -questions.
