i was trying to install redhat9 in F partition of my harddisk.during installation process ,firstly progress was almost negligable,so i restarted the whole process.then when i restarted ,installing process continued until "copying files to harddrives",then suddenly installation got abnormally terminated.some kil operation,followed by unmount operations.... it is safe to reboot ur system.now when i restart,iam able to log in to windows(both 98(C drive),xp(D drive)).but F drive is not shown.... plz tell me how 2 complete the installation.......
