Same failure. 2-I tried moving the cable from the secondary IDE port to the primary IDE port. Same failure. 3-I tried moving the disk to a different system, i845G instead of i815. Same failure. 4-I tried installing again on the same disk and i845G. Same failure!!! O_O -- " Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.
