>Description:
I split my C: drive into two partions (I've used FIPS as well as Partition magic) I go through the whole install routine and when it starts copy BIN to directory everything freezes at about 1024k tranferred. The keyboard locks up and I have to either shut of the power or press reset to get out. If I install to my drive E: (which is smaller than the partition) it goes right in but boot fails when it can't mount root (Not on C: drive I suppose).
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Wish I knew since I've got $30.00 tied up in a CDROM that won't install.

 Any suggestions?

 Any help will be greatly appreciated.
