I have now installed a new hard disk into the old box (P4, 3c905, 256MB)
that has been running MNF since 2002 and I have the same problem.
Something has changed because I am trying to install on the exact
hardware as I did in 2002 except for the new hard disk. Could it be BIOS
settings? Any ideas?

Regards,
Nigel Ayen
