Guys here is the error I got when the system was formating the file system and 
drive.

" An error occured trying to format hda2. This problem is serious and the 
install cannot continue."



My pc has the following hardware etc in it:

2.1 Gig Maxtor IDE hard drive
1.2 Gig Western Digital hard drive
32X IDE CDROM drive
166MMX Pentium processor
S3 video card integrated into the motherboard.
1.44Meg floppy drive
14" IBM monitor
PS2 3 button mouse


I can successfully install Redhat 7.0 and 7.1. The hard drive is clean, no 
operating system on it. I've used "Delpart" to remove all partions on the drive 
and then used the command "FDISK /MBR" on the drive before trying to load 
Miniconda Rule installer.

Do you have some suggestions I can try for a Redhat 7.2 install?
Jim
