Yes, your crummy product bombs out during the swap creation
regardless of what type of installation I'm doing (expert, text, manuall).
When the install dies it leaves the hard drive unusable until I put it in a
Mac I have and force it to be over-written with zero data.

I've got a Pentium III 450, Fujitsu MPE series 6gb HD, and a real big
headache.

I would like to request a replacement CD once you have your install problems
under control (from the looks of this database you have your hands full)

Thanks.
