[-- Attachment #1 --] I've read the instruction carefully, if not the entire book...I am getting there, but I cannot get my system to boot. I have an isolation switch so the OS system has the whole disk for itself (20GB ATA IDE Deskstar IBM...7200)...really just your run of the mill hard drive. It installs to a point; I have tweaked all I know to tweat but I have run out. It ends with a message that reads that "the system is installed but with a few errors"...and from that point on I just loop through the previous menus! It also mentions a VTF1? scroll-function? I also tried the "<," but it didn't help. I feel I am moments away from success...I just cannot think of anything else I should tweat. Oh! God! Any help will be more than appreciated...you know its bad when you know your menus, what they mean, how to adjust them...and then ultimately nothing happens...very disconcerting. Begging on bended Knees have pity on (an obviously incompetent) newbie!!!!!!
