Could not mount partition during network install


I can connect to the server and everything is fine until I select all the pacakages and start the install.

I get a message telling me that "Could not mount partition /dev/hdb2 to /mnt/.

you can continue if you know what you are doing, but to prevent damage to your file system, it's safer to cancel and re-boot."

continue abort retry

of course I hit continue because there isn't anything to mess up.

I did have fedora on here and just stuck the linux boot disk in the cd tray and started a network install.

Seems to me that a few weeks ago when I moved from fedora to suse I was running into the same issue.

It almost acted like fedora would do something to the partitions where it's not readable to other OS's

To fix that I went to seagates website and grabbed the disc wizard and spent the night writing 0's to the disk and then I could load it.

That's actually what I'm in the process of doing right now. Just writting 0's and then format and start another network install of Suse 9.2

so I guess my question is. Have any of you experinced this same kind of problem?

If so what did you do to correct it?

Thanks for your time.

PS, get this. I can and did load Suse 9.1 with no problem right after the fedora thing.... It's just 9.2 I'm having the issues with.

I did have 9.1 installed... just to make sure it's working. then I start the network install and it comes up and says that about the /dev/hdb2 to /mnt/

So I'm leaning to the idea that after my 120 gb is all 0s there should be no reason to get that error???? hope hope hope.... pray pray pray!!!
