    Type linux text on the prompt when booting from the RH9 install disk.
    This will start the text based installer.

    Anaconda uses the default vesa driver during install so it's a bit strange this happens. Try the text based installer and let us know if you succeed or not..

    stuff

    you probably have an NTFS windows XP partition. Only Mandrake can resize NTFS partitions without destroying all data. So use a mandrake install CD (I can see from your profile you have mandrake) to resize the partition then install RH.
