Subject: install hangs

on a gateway 4dx2-66v, wd 520m h.drive:

built boot floppy, fdisk'ed the drive and set for install.  "says" it's
copying over drivers and boot info.  it reads the cd and loads something
from /documentation (i think), hits the hard drive once and hangs.  have
tried several different partition sizes, all with the same result.  i know
the partition settings are being written to disk because on rebooting, the
new settings come back.

any suggestions?

thanks,
