Eveline, can you determine when it is failing, what it is trying to do at the point of failure? Can you provide anymore specifics? mowa

To determine what the problem is you have to more clearly define the nature of the failure. Based on my dated experience with ide/scsi hard disk system's it is likely that a gui install like corel's would have difficulty with your system. First point would be does your video card have support with Xfree86. The next point is that I believe you would have to install the bootable Linux partition on a partition on one of your ide drives. If you have more than one ide drive you cannot use lilo to boot to a scsi partition. As I recall lilo will only let you boot on a partition of one of the first two physical drives and ide drive take priority in the count. But other than the question of video card support my main system used to have four ide hard disks, three scsi disk, two scsi cdroms and a scci tape backup. But I found replacing all the hard disks with one 15 gig ide a lot simpler. TOm watson tosiwmee
