    Yes. It looks like it. Your hard disk might have caught some bad sectors. Try re-formatting the harddisk. you might get lucky.

    Other thing, do you have Windows installed already in the machine?

    Since your windows installation is fine, the entire hard might not have any problems. Try formatting the free space to FAT32 once and btry accessing the hard disk through windows, if you can access it , then it mean the hard disk is fine. Then reformat it to EXT2/EXT3 and try installing Linux.

    A word of advice mate, if you are trying to install Linex. I suggest Ubuntu. That's the best one can get. (The only drawback is you need net connection to install most of the add-on softwares). But the OS is wonderful. Instead of Red Hat, you might want to try Fedore Core6....

    Cheers!

    I think the newly developed bad sectors corrupted your Linux installation. The sector range 0 - 7 is important to hard disk as MBR & FAT are stored at these locations. So, if your HD is under warranty get it replaced, else try disk repairing tools to repair and skip bad sectors while creating partitions..
