Did you read the FAQ carefully? Did you read the message in the directory about installing? When you say that you installed it, how? Which OS did you install? i386 or amd64? Usually amd64 is the correct answer. What does disk not found mean? What did you see during the failed boot process? ERR M? Are you trying to multi-boot with another OS too? Have you tried installing to a USB drive? This will, if successful, make you able to submit a dmesg. That's very helpful. You do not need to use a regular hard drive of any kind to get it up and running.

Usually out of date or just plain wrong. -- Regards, Chris Bennett "Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past." George Orwell - 1984
