I am trying to install from CD to a new Seagate 1GB IDE drive. The drive is not
write-prot. and DOS installs fine. When I get to "Extracting into /bin..."
The following message appears: " Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of
10480)

What's the deal?   (If DOS and diags show disk is OK)

I've tried BIOS changes, partition changes, etc. same result.
