Can you provide the complete traceback you received?
whatever it was, seems to have wacked by HDD, now when i try and boot from the fc3 cd or RH cd, it comes back saying that it hasn't detected my HDD. Ive tired it with win xp, and same thing, ive booted from ERD commander and the same thing, its not detecting my HDD. so thus i cant install nothing on it at the moment, do you know of any ulitiy that allows me to totally wipe it and start over a fresh?
This sounds like problems with your hardware. I'd recommend ensuring that all cables are firmly connected and if so, then your hard drive may be dying.
