Hello Steve,
I had some troubles installing 7.0 myself until I made the txt_boot.img
bootdisk and installed using the text mode (6.0 version) of the installer.
The rawrite utility for windows didn't work either. I had to use the
rawrite.exe file from a dos environment or the disk wouldn't boot.
I notice on RedHat's bug page that they hosed up the install images on their
latest release and I wonder if it has carried over into Mandrake.
I have had no problems at all using the text-mode-boot-disk-install.
