Mandrake not working

yacine · 07-06-2003, 04:03 AM

Hello everybody!

Yesterday I tried to install Mandrake Linux 9.1, everything went alright, but when I tried to start it, it says "Building Mozilla Registry" and then nothing happens.

I tried again this morning, the same thing happened.

I already tried RedHat and Debian, and this never happened to me!

Please help me

just don't choose Mozilla on the setup,you will install it later when the system will be ok

I tried this but when I boot, after "Enabling Swap Space" nothing happens.

Hello
A few days ago I deleted all my linux partitions, and created them with DiskDrake.
Apparently, the system never stops at the same moment.

Can someone help me?
My computer = Dell Dimension 4550...

How old is your hard drive it may be time for a new one.

I want to say its the discs. But im pretty sure it wouldn't of installed if your disc were bad. Have you tried failsafe
