I have read a few post and rayor seem to have a similar problem, and maybe I need some more info.
cfdisk -No partition table or unknown signature

I tried to install 6.3 on my HDD and
Here is what I have-
Disk /dev/hda: 20.0 GB, 20020396032 bytes
255 heads , 63 sectors/track, 2434 cylinders
Units= cylinders of 16065 * 512=8225280 bytes

Disk /dev/hda doesn't contain a valid  partition table

I wiped out windows and old version and DSL 6.1 to have a clean install (dual boot).  I also did FDISK /mbr from the windows boot disk ( possible BIG mistake :-(  )  
I reinstalled to check if the drive would still install , what do I need to do - I have windows.
I want to install DSL and a few apps  (OpenOffice and Firefox)  HELP.!!

I also tried to use fdisk to create a few partitions and when it tries to write to the disk the box freezes?
