Would you mind explaining as to what exactly you did to install from hard disk and what was the error message or why and where the installation stalled ?

ok, thank you very much.
i created an iso image from a cd. then i copied it to d:, copy the folder isolinux to the root of the harddisk. installed grub for windows, and configed it like this:

timeout 10

title Windows at (hd0,0)
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

title fc4install
root (hd0,4)
kernel (hd0,4)/isolinux/vmlinuz
initrd (hd0,4)/isolinux/initrd.img

the iso image is ok. then restart the computer and choose 'fc4install'. all things seemed to be good. i config the keyboard, choose the path contains the image. then the screen became a white rectangle, an X appeared in the middle and then disappeared. then the computer had no response.

thank you. sorry that my english is not very good.
