What are the partitions and mount points you are trying to use for this install?
Of course I have abandoned that installation for the time being. I plugged the hard disk into another machine, this is the partition table with mount points added behind each line: [root@snoopy gh]# fdisk /dev/hdb The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 2494. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/hdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2494 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 * 1 131 1052226 83 Linux / /dev/hdb2 132 164 265072+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hdb3 165 2494 18715725 5 Extended /dev/hdb5 165 426 2104483+ b Win95 FAT32 /win /dev/hdb6 427 949 4200966 83 Linux /usr /dev/hdb7 950 2494 12410181 83 Linux /home Command (m for help): q [root@snoopy gh]# Hope that helps.

If you try installing without mounting the /win partition in the installer does it work?
