I have a problem with install on one of my systems also. The thing is, it has two hard drives and on the secondary hard drive (a maxtor) linux installs just fine. So I know it is not the mother board and other hardware. This is the one thing we have in common other than the sound card, my primary hard drive is a WD 13 gig ATA66. I have had linux on it before but after a power problem I had to reinstall on both hard drives and the WD is not cooperating. Hopefully someone out there can give us a fix. Other wise I am saving my pennies for a new Maxtor to replace the frisbee I have now.

Subject: [newbie] New system-failed install
Hi All,
I hope someone can help me out,can't get a good install on my home built
system. This is what I have:
Asus A7V 700Mhz Duron
128mg PC133 ram
Sound Blaster Live Value
Ati Rage pro 128 32mgs
Acer 40x Cd-rom
10gig W/D hard drive ATA66
When Mandrake's installer gets to the package install it finds errors in
them and
shuts down the install. Tried turning off my L1 cache, also just about
anything
else I could think of. Always the same. Even Windoze doesn't like this
setup.
I thought I had the parts to make one heck of a Linux box,but soon going
to
swap out parts. May get something back.
I am tried of my out dated 166Mhz.
Thanks for any input
Robert F. Trettel
