Hi! Just completed a mainly successful installation of 7.2. The computer is as follows: TX based board with CMI8330 onboard sound, IBM P200+ WesternDigital 6.4GB UDMA2 on primary, Quantum Bigfoot 2GB mode4 + NoName 40speed CD-ROM on Secondary, 3C509b NIC, ATI 2MB PCI video card. Oh, and Winblows98SE on the WD :-( 1st problem: Doing a stock standard workstation install, and after it checked the size of the windows partition the screen that you have to ok the resize of the windows partition appeared, but frozen! The computer was not completely frozen as numlock could be turned on and off and the mouse worked but no buttons on the screen responded, ctl/alt/del did nothing, only hardware reset :-( I tried several times but same result, fiddled with Bios settings, still no go. In the end I did an expert install, manually resized the windows partition and manually allocated as I saw fit, and continued the installation in expert mode. Worked fine. 2nd problem: The onboard CMI8330 was detected as CMI8338, and doesn't work. I didn't have time to play around with it last night but will look at it more closely this evening. A question: If you have more than one HDD could the auto allocate include the 2nd drive?, perhaps as an option? An observation: Initially I used Norton Speeddisk to de-fragment the drives prior to installation. For some unknown reason it put a few blocks of data right at the end of the disk, effectively making the disk appear full. Running Winblows built in defrag moved this data back to the beginning of the disk. Cheers to all, and congrats on a very polished product! Mike. Michael Perry. R&D. Dep.
