I have a set of 9.0 CDs that I am shure are good because I have used them to install 9.0 on 2 other machines. Last night I went to install mandrake on a friends machine , things seemed to be going well for the first minite or 2 and then it hung while on hard drive detection part of the installation. I tried to repeat the installation several times useing the reccomended and then the expert mode. I even tried to use Partition Magic to repartiton the hard drive first still no luck. This machine allready has windoze 98se installed on a 60 GB western digital hard drive, Athlon 1.7XP processor and 256 MB ram I was useing a cd drive installed on IDE channel 2 and operating as a slave. Could this be the problem ? I have never tried to install off a cd that was a slave before however it seems to me that It should be ok. Any one have any Ideas where this installation is going wrong?
Thanks in advance Marc
