My machine is a DX4-100 with 48mb ram, Adaptec 2842VL, Seagate 9gig hd (SCSI-2 FAST), Fujisu 512mg hd (SCSI-1), Creative 6x IDE CDROM.... The system boots fine off the cd. It recognises all of my hardware and drives. It allows me to create partition entries HOWEVER it keeps returning an error when I try to create a FS. Thus I cannot get the system up and running. The system currently runs stock linux slackware 3.0, windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT. What I have done to try to install.... Completly removed all other OS's Made the Seagate a boot drive Made the fujitsu a boot drive Only used the fujitsu Only used the seagate Removed all but 16M of ram I have driver level experiamnce (10yr) so any technical resons would be understood. -- ==================================================== Peter Carter Systems Analist 613-751-4660 voice mail/pager Security/CGI/JAVA/PERL peterc@besecure.com http://www.besecure.com/~peterc Just how many times will "42" work? ====================================================
