Re: Install troubles
Hay Wolf:
What I would do in this case is remove the hardware that
you don't need to perform an install.
It could be an interrupt problem, or something like that.
Once the system is up and running, you can put the
hardware back in. Just get ride of the sound card and
modem. Also; Make sure your bios settings are in
default mode and you are not using the memory hole.
You could also try booting another PC (if you have one).
If the same thing happens, you may have a bad floppy.
