What is odd is that the formatting seems to take unreasonably long. It stalls at all 11 multiples - 11%, 33% , 44%, 55%, 66% and sits there for a long time, then counts through up to the next 11-multiple - the 22 mark I missed, so I don't know if it sat there too... I have seen this behaviour on this machine when I first tried installing FC2. I already had all these problems back then, so I switched over to FC1, and all was fine - except for the missing network driver...
