Re: Failed twice to install
So, now I have three hard drives which "lock" the computer when attached.???? That was the case. After booting the computer to a LiveCD, I hot-plugged each hard drive, and re-formatted to ext4. The computer simply will not recognize Ghost's partition, and locks up when I have a Ghost-form...

Re: Failed twice to install

Failed twice to install
Well - I completed installation twice. Upon reboot, I get nothing. I suspect that partitioning wasn't done right, or the bootloader isn't installed correctly. The machine goes through it's BIOS startup, then it just stops, like it is searching for the boot loader or something. During setup, I permit...
