Thanks ThomasIt should not be a problem with WinXP Home or WinXP Pro with NTFS. I work on one machine with WinXP Pro on /dev/hda and ML9.2 on /dev/hdb and have had no such problem. The install went without a hitch. Also root and users can list the contents of these partitions I don't see this as Microsoft's doings.
I drive over after lunch and attack the machine again, and post the data to the group as well as yourself.
I still have this gut feeling about microsoft, for instance on a machine with 2 HDs one has winxp on it the other MDK 9.1 if you mount the drive with winxp on it then as root attempt to list the contents .Why should you get permission denied messages. this dos'nt happen with win2000 which is also ntfs . it dos'nt explain why on install you can get a failure to write the partition table to the mbr.
I smell a rat , a great big seattle type rat

Unless I am missing something that you have not brought up, the errors
describing generally refer to the IDE controller itself and not the hard
drive. I/O APIC and ACPI problems generally cause interrupts to not get
assigned properly, so frequent symptoms include nics and usb ports not
working and lost interrupts on drive channels.
If this is the case and I have seen it causing problems with NICs, the install should be set to turn it off by default, once you have a running system, it can always be turned on,.; But this type of thing happening on install will drive people away from MDK. most winyuk users are extremely biased against linux, why give them fuel for their arguments ???
Well we can disable that stuff in the install with the kernel, but in order to do so we need the hw info bios revision so we know what system to block, and what part of it... So here is what you need to do...
first get MDK installed, probably using the above mentioned commands.. then install lm_sensors...
then tell me what commands you needed (acpi=off, acpi=ht, noapic, nolapic, ...) to get it working...
then send me the output of the following commands: (as root)
#lspcidrake -v #cat /var/log/dmesg #dmidecode
with this info I'll add them to my kernels, and most likely Juan will pick them up for MDK main kernels...
