I have had the exact same problem, unfortunately to
this day I have not got a satisfactory conclusion, even from Mandrake Tech
support. I have loaded Red Hat first time onto the same machine, with no
problems, if you want to get into Linux quickly.

Subject: [newbie] problems!!
Hi everyone,
this is the first time I get on list.
I have
tried to install Mandrake 6.0 on my Pentium, 2Gb, computer without success.
Two main problems occcur me:
first - when the installation process gets to the
rescue disk step it doesn't seem to find a diskette driver (the light doesn't
turn on at any moment) and then obliges me to ommit this step.
Second - After the diskette driver problem has
occured LILO is not able to install itself, I have tryed all possible options
given in the installation menus. My hard disk is recognized by LBA
mode.
So, after all these things I have all inside but
I'm not able to reboot because I have no LILO installed nor a system disk to
boot from.
Can anyone help me??
I guess I will have tu put on some more
information in order to bring you a consistent clue, but at the moment my
knowledge about Linux is limited so when you were so kind to do so ask me
whatever you find necessary.
Thank you very much in
advance
