hello

i have a lenovo 3000 n200 my specs are:

Model: N200 0769-A9U<li>CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz T7500<li>Chipset: Intel 965 Express<li>Memory: 2048MB DDR2 PC5300 (A single 2GB stick)<li>Hard Drive: 160GB Hitachi(HTS541616J9SA00) SATA<li>Screen: 15.4" WSXGA+ 1680x1050 Glossy<li>Optical Drive: LG GMA-4082N DVD-/+R/-RAM<li>GPU: 256MB nVidia 7300 Go<li>Network/Wireless: Intel Wireless 4965AGN, Broadcom 10/100 Ethernet Card, Modem and Bluetooth<li>Inputs: 84 Key Keyboard with Two Button Touchpad with Scroll Bar<li>Buttons: Power, Lenovo Care, Power Up and Down, Mute, and WiFi/Bluetooth On/Off Switch.<li>Slots: ExpressCard/54<li>Battery: Six Cell (Mine has the 9 Cell battery)<li>Dimensions:

• Width: 14.2"
  
• Depth: 10.5
  
• Height: 1.24"
  

I tried using iAtkos r1, r2, and r3 and i have the same problems with all of them when it asks me the destination drive nothing shows up. I formatted my partition to fat32 and gave it 20gb, 20000mb so that it could be read by the iAtkos but i still can not figure out what the problem is. I would like to not have to install on an external drive (which does work on my computer because i have tried it). Any help that anyone could give me would help me.

Thankyou

You need to create a active partition with id = af (use diskpart thru windows).

this does not work i tried it i made a 20000mb partition and set it as active and still it does not show up. I do not understand what is wrong i then had the other partition as my active one so i had to change it back before i could even load my os. do u have any other ideas
