Re: FATAL ERROR: Cannot seek on disk drive
This was a known bug in a version of cfdisk. If you open a shell during
the installation process and run fdisk manually instead, you can
partition the drive such that the "can't seek" problem does not occur.
This problem has only be reported in drives >2GB, AFAIK. Note that the
manual procedure I described comes from recollection. I bypassed the
problem on some 2.5GB drives by using 4 primary partitions and no
extended partitions. I believe it was a problem with extended partitions
only.
