I had this happen to me while installing potato (has happened other
times as well, btw).  Not wanting to lose all the selections I'd made
and restart the install, I unplugged both power and data cables to the
IDE drive, waited 5 seconds, then plugged them back in.  It did an IDE
bus reset and completed the install.  Machine works fine.
