Please let me know if there is any workaround or I should try a different Linux. I downloaded the Fedora core 3 DVD iso file, burned to DVD, it checked out fine, install on a AMC Sempron 2400+ with ECS KT600-A MB, WD 80 GB IDE drive. The installation completed successfully, then click the restart button, it try to boot for several minutes then failed with the following message: BOOT FAILURE, ENTER SYSTEM DISK PRESS ENTER. I have tried twice, 1st manually partitioned the drive on the brand new hard drive. The second time, I deleted all the partition and used auto partition option. Both time failed with the same error. I installed Windows XP on a seperate drive, all went fine. Running as smooth as it can be. Any ideas? Was the problem related to the processor or the hard drive? It's a plain new WD IDE drive with 8 mb cache, can't believe that can be a problem... I would like to try Fedora Core 2, see if that can install on the same box, but can't find the link to download it. Is it still available? Thanks a lot, New Linux learner
