You may try a different setting in your SATA configuration, at least during the installation. You may have something else than AHCI, and be careful on how your sata DVD drive is plugged (master/slave/...) -- work hard, die young IT Stuff on http://blog.mc-thias.org Thias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Copying files to a windows XP partition (mtools?)
Hello, Unfortunatly, you should have a vfat partition to exchange data between Linux and Windows using mtools. As ntfs filesystem and "write permission under linux" are not very friendly, you may want to have a look at ntfs-3g.

Former version of dep package
Hi everybody... I'd like to know if it is possible to find former packages for xfree 4.0.1... Indeed, the release -8 worked quite better for me ;o) Thias
