I had the same problem with a Compaq laptop, trying to install FC3 last
year. I had used Q-partet and another boot disc (can't remember the
name, but it was discussed on this list before) without success. Then I
booted with a Partition Magic (ver.8) disc and was able to repartition
the HD and install Linux.
I think Bob is correct, they hide a partition for system info or restore.
