Can you tell us at what point the install hangs? Your disks are of course recognized correctly by the BIOS? Did you try the safe settings or the manual install option, yet? Which IDE channel to you have your CDROM set to and what make is it?
Best regards, Alex.
Forgot to mention the DVD Drive (have to install from something right)
I had issues with my new DVD burner/reader in installing 9.0 on my home system (not a P4C800 but a rather old Abit mobo). The only way it worked was to hang it on the slave of the first IDE channel. I am not saying that this is necessarily your problem, but it might be something to check.
Oh it hangs around making the selections - Partition setup - during installation of packeages
Well if it hangs on setting up the partition one would think it has to do with the drives.
Could it be that the "old" IDE-harddrive that isn't what it was supposed to be anymore !! (IBM). Did run all the HD-tests from IBM though and it passed.
Do you need that drive in the box at all? If I understand you correctly you have two new WD drives set up and you were planning to install on one of them? In order to identify the problem more closely you might want to go to a minimal setup, i.e., just one hard drive, and the DVD drive.
The DVD drive (Liteon 812S) is only used to boot the thing for now. I'm still looking forward to the Patch-CD for ix86 systems to be able to utilize enhanced mode for the SATA drives. http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/01/sata.html No don't need the IDE based drive, but I've read about problems with SATA-based drives !! But I'll unplug the IDE-based drive and give it a go :-) Think I allready tried that can't remember if I tested that yet. (embarresing ;-) )
HTH, Alex.
