HI Andreas, Disabling USB legacy support was the one, great suggestion! I switched all the on-board periperals back on without problems, and I can now use the GUI installation as well. Even the floppy disk is no longer necessary. Thank you very much for your help. Jeremy. On Monday 08 Dec 2003 8:32 pm, Andreas Jaeger wrote:

I have a Biostar ideq 200p computer containing an Athlon 64 3200+ CPU, Nvidia Nforce3 chipset and a Nvidia Geforce 4 440 mx graphics card.
Booting from the DVD and selecting "Installation" causes the machine to hang after the message "starting hardware detection"
Two options: - disable USB Legacy support - boot with "poll=idle" added at the default installation prompt
Both indicate a BIOS bug,
Andreas
