Dear Daniel Fanjul Alcuten,

Have you received other disk-related [error] messages ?
I seem to understand that yours is a **hardware** issue.=20

Incidentally, a limited number of disk & chipset combinations (AFAIR,=20
**some** VIA chipsets) do not work in UDMA with the new ata driver.

You should provide as many details (your hardware; error messages) as=20
you can. Someone more knowledgeable may spot your problem -- provided=20
he or she is online.

<aside>
However, I am not quite sure that you can fit "All" distributions into=20
a 402MB disk, ie into a ~ 310MB /usr. **If** I remember rightly (I=20
installed all the stuff, including X), it took about ~ 500 MB.  =20
</aside>

Best regards,
Salvo
