Hello, Ok here is the problem: I boot from the harddsik boot disk or via the specific batch file to the mandrake 7.1 installation programm. My install files are on hdc: 500 primary FAT, 5 GB e2fs, 1,5 GB FAT (here are the mandrake 7.1 files), rest is NTFS The e2fs, 1,5 GB FAT, NTFS are in an extended Part. Ok, I come to the point where i have to tel the installer where the mandrake files are on the disk. I choose the 1,5 GB fat part. and get an mount error. When I choose the 500 MB Part, I get an error and it shows the directories of that part, that means hardisk acces works for that partition. But when I look on the other console I find the error message 'insmod ide...' failed don't care (i don't remember the exact error message but it sound in that way) on the other console I see the mount command and an error message 'wrong parameter. There is an parameter (the size ?) with a minus sign: mount(...., -15456...,.) I check some other web forums for mandrake users and there were some other guy that had the same problem, some guys partition was overwritten, mine too, when I used disk druid. I had luck that only the Mandrake files and some other useless stuff was deleted. I used Mandrake 6.1 before and haven't such problems. Now you ask: why don't you update from Mandrake 6.1 ? Yes I can, but I had repartitionized my hdds and thougt 'make a clean instal with mandr. 7.1' I am too lazy first to install 6.1 and then update to 7.1. Only when there is no other way. I hope this bug is fixed in 7.2. Can anyone help ? -- This mail was sent to you by using 100% pure Java technology.
