Have you simply tried to redo the install ? It is easier; you can use the existing partitioning scheme. Should be done in ten minutes. I know, this isn't much of a help, but what you describe should work without a hitch if you enter all those values. So, a minor mistake ? Or a corrupted harddisk or a corrupted download ? Uwe
