Hey guys! Briefly, I am having problems installing Linux Mandrake or any other version. I am stuck at CHECKING PARTITIONS when trying to install Linux on my Pc.
I read many forums and that didnt help me!
If someone can reply to me and tell me what size the partition for linux should be; and why i cant install it since it always freezes at Checking partiton HDA0.

check the hardware compatibility list.

it sounds like your hardware is not supported. It will probably work, but it may take a special kernel with drivers to do it.

It will setup your partitions automatically if you do a standard install
