CAN'T Install Mandriva LE2005.

[Valet 0]

This is really getting to the point where I'm throwing things around my room, because I can't install Mandriva.

 

It just stops halfway through the install, everytime, without any provocation. This is my first OS on a system that I just finished building today.

 

System Specs:

 

3.0 Ghz Pentium 4 Prescott

ASUS P4P800E-Deluxe Mobo

1 Gig of Corsair RAM

SAMSUNG SpinPoint HDD

ATI AIW 9600 128 mg Card

Creative Labs Audigy 2

Sony Combo CD-R/RW/DVD-R Drive

 

I am seriously just about to slap windows on thsi PC, because this is getting increasingly annoying. I hope the makers of this uncompatible software.

 

Suggestions... Now...

yeah, this is a common problem with these giant iso's. You should try to burn them at 4x or slower or try another Linux distro or windows to make sure the hardware is stable.
