hey guys...so i put together an old p2 system from spare parts & i was gonna put linux on it, cuz would like t learn how to use it, but for some reason, it locks up when it tries to format the hdd- it lets me through all the options & all, & about 1/8th of the way through the format, then quits. same exact thign every time. i tried mandrake, redhat, and slackware, same thing with each. i tried installing windows xp home & it installed fine with no problems at all. i tried it with both NTFS once, and FAT32 once, no probs. whats the deal with it? could it be that the hdd just doesnt support that format, or is that even possible?
its a quantum bigfoot 6.4gb hdd, p2 350mhz, 128 megs pc100 ram, & some ancient ASUS mobo =P
thx in advance
