Description of problem: I had sucessfully installed Fedora core 3 on a new drive of my dual boot windows xp box, did an up2date. I deleted the wrong thing as a newbie and have been tring to reinstall FC3. Anaconda crashes as it is about to copy files off of the cd onto the hard drive. I have a floppy dump file Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Happens every time I try to reinstall FC3 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Delete partiions on drive 2. Boot to CD and start install process 3. Actual results: I follow all of install directions and install crashes before loading OS. Expected results: Create new partitions and load software Additional info: I found bug problems of people upgrading and did not understand the solutions presented for a similar but different problem.

This is caused by partial volume groups being left on the disk. Some changes have gone into CVS to fix this, but you can work around by naming your volume something other than VolGroup00 on the install.
