Read the shiny new docs that Saidin, Tronik and others work so hard on, and then, if needed, search the forum.

It's usually best to do that before posting if at all possible. But I (and most on this forum) have asked lots of redundant questions in the past so don't feel insulted. The docs weren't there when I started (~9 months ago) so you're lucky.

Welcome anyway and all the best with it!

are you sure your harddisk is on /dev/hda ? It could be any of hda, hdb, hdc, hdd.
Try to find out, which drives/partitions DSL autodetected :
Quote
dsl@box:~$ cat /proc/partitions
major minor  #blocks  name

 22     0   78184008 hdc
   ...
  3     0    3173184 hda
  3     1     294304 hda1
  3     2          1 hda2
    ....

If you have SCSI disks it could be even something like /dev/sda, /dev/sdb...

My sure you boot into Linux.  You are probably only at the boot prompt.
At the "boot:" prompt enter "dsl 2".  This will load the kernel in text-on mode.  One it has booted and you get a prompt then you can enter "sudo su" and then "cfdisk /dev/hda".  From there you enter the partitioning utility cfdisk.  Delete your old partitions and create two new ones - a swap partition as hda1 (usually twice the size of your RAM) and the remainder of the disk can be your linux partition.  Make sure you enable it as "bootable".  In cfdisk you have to select "write" to make the actual changes to the partition table.  After you are all done, reboot so that the new partition table is read.  enter dsl 2, sudo su, then "dsk-hdinstall"...
