HD Install :: hd install problems



I get this code when doing a HD install

Warning: /proc/partitions does not exist disk scan bypasses
Warning: Partition 1 on  /dev/hda is not marked active
Warning: Partition type  0x82 on device 0x0301 is a dangerous place for a boot sector.

any idea what is wrong, I have tried a few times already now to get this installed on the HD and it still wont take I have also used the wiki how to and when I reboot the system it stops after the bios boots and then wont go bat the blinking cursor.
Can you print out the hard disk partitions?

From a root prompt, do:

# fdisk /dev/hda

then "p" to print the partition table pls?

There's no need to do an fdisk; just type fdisk -l /dev/hda (lowercase L) and copy the output back here. Also copy your /etc/lilo.conf here, please.
Ok seems I cant even get to my /dev/hda  dir.  I get some error saying thats it at the end of my drive and well, just gone, how do I go about formating this drive and starting over?
boot from a live cd (like dsl) to console mode (dsl 2) and type cfdisk. Try first to mark hda1 as active, and reboot, but if it still won't work, just delete all partitions (from the livecd still) and make new ones. "Mkswap hda2" (or whatever your swap partition is) and "swapon". The hd-install script will format the partition for dsl.
