Toshiba Satellite -- /etc/fstab problems


Whenever I try to run a LiveCD, it gets up to the point where it says something like checking harddrive partitions and creating /etc/fstab..., then just stops. It doesn't do anything, or say anything. The hard-disk light doesn't flash. It hasn't done anything after 2 hours.

This might not sound like much, but the distros I want (either Damn Small Linux or Feather) both are LiveCDs you have to install from.
