Installation Trouble



I have an old Packard Bell PB620 CD  (26mhz Intel, HD:
Seagate ST-3491A).  It was previously running Windows
95 until I ran fdisk (DOS) to start over.  When I run
the Debian Setup, when I get to the second thing on
the list, Partition a Hard Drive, I select dev/hda, my
only option, and get the following error message:  

"Invalid Partition Table | cfdisk has failed while
trying to repartition your disk.  That may mean your
disk's partition table is corrupt, or your disk is
factory clean.  I may wipe out your disk's current
partition table and run cfdisk again."

It asks Yes or No, I select No and nothing happens.  I
have tried to partition the hd before I run the setup
with fdisk (DOS), 350meg for native, 58meg for swap. 
I get the same error when I run the deb setup.

Help me.  I'm a linux newbie if you can't tell.

In the sagas, berserks are often described as being fantastically ugly, often being mistaken for trolls, as were Skallagrím and his kinsmen in Egils saga Skallagrímsonar (Palsson and Edwards, Egil's Saga, p. 66). Egil himself is described as being "black-haired and as ugly as his father" (Ibid., p. 79), and at a feast in the court of the English king Æþelstan, Egil is said to have made such terrible faces that Æþelstan was forced to give him a gold ring to make him stop
