Installation problems Compaq Presario 3000


Hi there

I got a problem with the installation of Mandriva 2007 x86_64 in my pc (
Compaq presario V3000
AMD turion 64 x2
512 Ram
100 Gb
Nvidia GeForce go 6150
)

I reboot the PC with the 1th disc, it goes to the mandriva installation splash screen, and I select "installation", after that, the screen still with the mandriva blue theme and the PC thinks for about 8 minutes, then black screen with a blue announce "fatal error initializing".

I checked the log and the info is:

*needs usbkbd
succeeded usbkbd
*have to insmod keybdev
*needs keybdev
*/modules/modules.mar: no such file or directory
*warning, insmod failed (keybdev(nuH)) (1)
*PCMCIA: probing PCI bus...
not found
*PCMCIA: probing Intel PCIC (ISA)
not found
*PCMCIA: probing for Databook TCIC-2 (ISA)
not found
*not PCMCIA adapter found
*AUTOMATIC: parameter cdroom for method means returning CDROM drive have to insmod ide-cd.
*looking for ide media
IDE /0: hdc is HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4082N
*mounting /dev/hdc on sysroot/tmp/media as type iso 9660
*have to insmod isofs
*need isofs
succeeded isofs
*found a Mandriva Linux CDROM, good news!
*total memory 448 Mbytes
*mount_clp_may_preload:/sysroot/tmp/image//install/stage2//mdkinst.clp into /sysroot/tmp/stage2 (preload=1)
*short write (I/O error)
*Third party: using modules location /sysroot/tmp/images
*fopen (stage1.c:343) failed. No such file or directory
*unsetting automatic
*exiting bootsplash

I checked the kernel msg and got:

Buffer I/O error on dev hdc logical block ###### *
hdc: media error (bad sector): status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: media error (bad sector): error:0x34 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense =0x34}
ide failed opcode was: unknown
end_request: I/O, dev hdc sector ###### *

* that means that the number of the sector and logical block changed, and that the same msg is repeated like 20~30 times and then is finished.

But my computer is new, and the place I cleaned up in my hard disk for Linux before was full of info, and that means the hard disk is working normally but linux think otherwise

I also tried the acpi=off installation, but got the same problem!.

Please if anybody has some idea about my problem let me know, I really miss Mandriva, I was used to work with it in my old desktop and now im back to windows

Thanks a lot anyway...
