Can Not Install!!!!
 
For the past week i have tried and tried again to install mandrake ..firstt was 9.0, but my friend burnt the iso wrong so i did not get to install it, and than i decided to get 9.1, and buned the iso images and everything, and now when i boot it actually works and the installation screen comes up, i choose the option to standard install my pressing enter, but it just reastarts my comp agaiN!!

Any ideas what could be wrong in this scenario??

I have a P3 550 mhz
256mb ram\
I have windows 2000 running on it right now, and want to install linux with a partition of 10 gigs...out of the 40 that i have,

Also...i herd you can partiton during the installation, is this right??
Is it difficult, any tips??

Any help wuld be appreciated, as you can see i am in desperate mode right now...bottom desperation break down!
