What do you mean by "i have installed fedora 3 on an unformatted hd" ? I don't think this is possible. I am sure the fedora 3 installation let's you reparition your hard drive then chose the partitions you want to format and install the system on.

how did you format? using the automatic feature or manually? if manually did mention the patitioning you created
the best things in life are free --- so as myself
