Hello, This is further to my post last titled "THIRD TIME - please help". I am sorry but I haven't got a copy because I had to format my Win95 partition and re-install.
No doubt you are all bored of this but I have tried all of the suggestions given and still can't get Hamm to install from CD. The problem as described previously is an IRQ timeout error (0xd0) which occurs repeatedly when installing Hamm from CD. I see from the archives that several other people have discussed this but I didn't see a solution proposed. Any ideas now ??? The disk is fine - Win95 reads it without a problem and with only the Hamm base system installed I was able to copy from it to a directory in my Linux partition until I ran out of room ( how did a 650Mb CD use up a 1.5Gb partition BTW ? ) During the installation I can hear the drive constantly speed up then slow down then speed up etc... when dselect is operating and then finally it grinds to a halt and errors occur. I have a P166mmx with a 2.5Gb h/d, 32Mb memory, 1.44Mb floppy and 24X speed ATAPI CD-ROM. The name of the CD-ROM is Diamond Data which I believe is manufactured by Mitsubishi. I have previously installed Hamm on the system by FTP which ran perfectly and even played music CD's but please don't tell me to reinstall by FTP as this takes me about two days to download because of work commitments and ISP time restrictions. The CD-ROM is supposed to be the official distribution which I purchased from DVD Rent in Victoria, Australia. If you need more info to help please ask. TIA Ivan.
