It was Redhat install that complained it didnt give me the option to use
Automatic Partitioning or Druid. How do I overwrite with fdisk? Will
changing the settings in the bios help? I used autodetect!

Was it the RedHat install that complained, or was it one of the
partitioning programs {disk druid|fdisk}?

I've had fdisk complain in the past about the geometry of certain HD's
&||
the partitioning table being used.  Overwriting it with fdisk's
partitioning scheme appeared to have fixed whatever it was complaining
about.
