It has a 150 Mb Maxtor disk with an 800 series Maxtor SCSI controller. The install disk boots and I get past the first couple info screens, then I get a big red screen full of text telling me that FDISK has failed somehow. I can get the exact failure codes out of the install.log file, but they really don't tell you that much (unless you're MS and have the code book handy :-)). Does anyone know a workaround for this problem? Any and all suggestions appreciated. Thanks Much.
