We tried giving it a blank partition, in case the installer needed one, even making it UNIX format because it sounded like it had the best chance of working, and working well, with a *nix system. The hard drive is set as the master, and is detected by the BIOS and something called Ultimate Boot CD. It is a 20 gig IBM 'DeskStar' Hard Drive. The computer boots from the CD without a problem. CD test found no problems. I've been looking through the installation guide for answers with no luck yet.</font></div></div> </body></html>
