If you left it unallocated it isn't a partition. Drive letters are
meaningless in this context--they only apply within a running DOS or Windows
system.
Use Alt-F2 to get a terminal. Type "fdisk /dev/hda" (assuming you're
installing on the first or only IDE drive) and at the fdisk prompt type "p"
and paste the result into another message to this list.
