Problems installing Mandriva

Hello guys,

first of all I should tell you that I am really a noob on Linux, so that you guys don't think I'm totaly retarded. Well, anyway, I have got a huge problem when I am trying to istall Mandriva. First of I choose Language etc. but when I try to partition my harddrive a message is shown "An error has ocoured: no hd-lists". Well... What the heck is a hd-list?

I have tryed every type of partitioning the disks... So does anyone have a clue what the problem may be?

Thanks in advance,
Marcus Olsson

Nope, neither of them work.... Does anyone have any other idea of what the problem may be?

Check your bios, make sure PnP aware OS is turned off.

Thanks guys, I finally got it to work. I really apreciate your help
