W/Ds very seldom actually operate at their rated specs. You would be all right if you were installing 7.1, but 7.2 is unforgiving in its tolerance to these. You might have success if you tried the drive at 33 but I doubt that you will ever succeed at 66.

RE: [newbie] New system-failed install
Title: RE: [newbie] New system-failed install 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. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Robert F.

Re: [newbie] New system-failed install
Have you tried your RAM in another system? It may be defective. On the other hand, I installed Win Me LM7.2 on one 30Gb (2x15Gb paritions) drive, and within 24 hours everything was toast. Installed a new 30 Gb drive, and everythings perfect. Maybe you should try installing both O/S'es on the same drive, and partition the second drive as extra drive space for both O/S'es? One really simple thing to try is to replace your IDE cables. Some can be defective. Hope that all helps.
