I am trying to do my second install from an official debian 2.1 distribution CD. The system boots fine from the rescue disk and it looks like the hard drive and CDROM are being recognized. When I try to partition the hard drive, it shows the proper amount of available space on the hard drive and allows me to set up the partitions I want, but when I write the partition table, it locks. The message that says it is writing the partition information comes up and never goes away (I have left it like this over the weekend). At this point I have to turn the power off. I am able to DOS FDISK the drive and format with DOS/WIN95, but I want to boot linux on this machine.
