Mandrake install help

I am trying to install mandrake 9.1 but i keep getting an error saying that a hard drive interupt has failed.

the error i get is:

<0> Kerrnel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt hanlder:
in interrupt handler - not syncing.

so that mean my hard drive is damaged?

cheer up pal........
there is nothing wrong with ur hard disk. i also had the same problem.. i keep on trying.. at last i got.. no explanation how i got.. it may be coz of some intrupt call during installation

Hmm, that is a wierd error. Ya know, maybe its the driver shunt settings. Is the drive a master or a single? Maybe the shunts are setup for cable select on a single? Then I would change them to single drive config. Check that out, I have never had this problem so I cant be of much more help. Driver shunts would be more likely to affect the BIOS and Board though.

hi redhawk
i think it has othing to do if the drive is master or slave..... softare installation dosent mind..... if u have two hard disk we have to take care of master and slave configuration
