    Slackware install problem

    Here is the problem:
    I have installed both linux and windows before, now i can only install windows.
    I uninstalled windows. i have 40 GB of free space.

    i have used huge26.s, test26.s, and other kernels with and without acpi=off
    i have tried other linux distros with no avail
    any suggestions?

    I had problems like this before that were solved by using the GParted Live CD. If you haven't tried it yet, it's worth a shot.

    You can even format it as ext2 or 3 with GParted I believe.
