System is Asus P4P800 MB, P4 2.8GHz, 1 GB memory, 2 seagate 18GB scsi drives on Adaptec 39320D (not configured as raid), one 80GB IDE drive as master on primary IDE interface, Ricoh CD R/W & NEC DVD R/W as master and slave on secondary interface, Radeon 9700 video, onboard sound and lan (3Com 3C390[not listed]). Installing from CD drive, at wits end, any help or thoughts appreciated.
If you're booting the install from DVD: 1 Make sure you're booting the 32bit version and not the 64bit version. ("Side A" should be up in the drive). 2 Choose safe settings and add this to the boot prompt: "enableapic" and see what happens. -- Brad Shelton On Line Exchange http://www.ole.net Phone: 313-526-1111 Fax: 313-526-3333
