I recently installed Mandrake on my second hard drive, I didn't like it so I went to install RedHat over it and it said that there was something wrong with the partition table for the second hard drive.

Well, I don't know what to do... Help?

TIA :(

What else is on that hard drive?

It was a NTFS (about half) partition, then the mandreake partitions (/, swap and /home)

I don't need anything on it anymore, so I can just format it, but even partition magic ain't working.

Chose "Remove all Linux Partitions on this Harddrive" then create the partitions as needed afterwards.

It doesn't even show the second hard drive in the list though.

Well then you have a problem.

Can you boot at all into Mandrake?

I fixed it, made a boot diskett of PowerMax (http://www.maxtor.com/en/support/downloads/powermax.htm) and did a low-level format, problem solved :bandit2:
