Hi Kevin and thanks for repplyng, sysinstall does not crach at all, the
problem is that the information is not retain by the label. I keep getting
that contact "Disk Geometry" error when I try fdisk into the volume/drive.
Any ideas what is happening. let me know what other information you may need
to assist me further.
