Re: Formatting a Hard Drive during installation

Thanks for the quick response.

Hmmm...I thought something was wrong. Is there some way to test the
ram on
this system? Everything appears okay in the bios. My other system
won't take this ram.

My gut (and the various errors I've seen) lead me to believe that the
problem is the harddrive. Even though it was working in my other
sytem, I think something happened during the various install attempts.

That's why I gave you the link in my previous post. Those are general
hardware troubleshooting steps, including how to test the RAM and the
drive.
