That can indicate a problem with your IDE drives, such as not jumpering a master or slave device properly, or a failing or otherwise bad IDE cable. Some things that might help would be to recheck your cabling, replace the IDE cable with a new one, check for and install the latest BIOS update for your computer, tweak BIOS settings like UltraDMA & LBA modes. You might also try booting and installing in Safe mode via the boot menu, which will disable DMA for the IDE devices entirely and might work around the problem long enough for the install to finish. Good luck, -- -Chuck
