Other Help Topics :: HOWTO HD install on a machine with only a floppy



I was thinking the same thing. You might want to try again and be veeeerrrrryyyyy patient!  :D
The Thinkpad 701c is a 486 DX 75 - 40 MB RAM (the max) and a 340 MB HD. I'll try it again tonight and let it sit for a few hours!
I would let it run overnight.

This way you will not get tempted to pull the plug too early.
D'oh!!!!

I re-started the whole procedure from scratch. NOW the darn thing won't run cfdisk - it says there is a "fatal error" and "press any key to exit cfdisk"

What did I do? I re-fdisk'd the hard drive (from DOS) for the 1st partition, copied the files from a IDE attached CDROM, then rebooted with the DSL boot disk.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
