You'll need to do manual partitioning. Yes, you do need to partition as
far as the installer is concerned. If you just want to overwrite the
partitions, but keep the same scheme you had before, simply choose
manual partitioning, select the second disk and then keep the
partitions you already have.

Oh -- I believe that the new Red Hat uses Ext3 by default, not Ext2.

Good luck,

Zonker
