Title: i can't install red hat 7.3
Post by: ims27_8 on 11 August 2002, 21:25

Here's my situation:
I just downloaded Red hat 7.3 the other day, but i can't install it   :confused:  , i get right to the end (2 packages left, around 6 meg) then it asks for the 3rd CD, i put it in, and it says "can't read from device mnt/setup/somethingorother..." I tried burning another copy of it, but i still got the same error. I think it might be something to do with my HDD (is that possible?), because I also have problems partitioning (something about partition table not aligned correctly or something) but I've tried deleteing all partitions and starting again twice with no luck. I also tried mandrake 8.2 which has worked in the past, but it didn't this time so i think it's the HDD.

any suggestions?

Check the "Missing Harddrive" thread.  There are some links there to MB and BIOS utilities.  You may want to reformat your HD and Flash the BIOS before trying to re-install.
