Hi guys/girls
I need urgent help with this!!
When formating completes and the install image is transferred to the hard drive, the install fails with the following error:
"An error occurred transferring the install image to your hard drive. You are probably out of disk space"
What's up with that??
I have an Intel server with 7 x 400GB SATA drives, 6 in RAID 5 and 1 as hot spare. I have been battling with this thing the whole day. Recreated the RAID, partitioned and formatted with both manual and automatic modes.
I have now removed 1 of the 2 RAM modules, but same results. Will test again in 10 minutes by swapping the RAM modules.
I have also tried the following command line switches:
linux ide=nodma
linux allowcddma
What can be wrong here?? I need to get this server up and running ASAP!!
It seems that the problem is a bad disc. Results from Media Check:
CentOS-4 i386 disc 1
is complete, and the result is : FAIL
The image which was just tested has errors. This could be due to a corrupt download or a bad disc. If applicable, please clean the disc and try again. If this test continues to fail you should not continue install.
Eish, I wish I knew more about Linux so that I could be of some use when Linux issues crop up.
Sorry to hear about the disk problem Christo. Let us know if you manage to get it sorted!

I guess you have no choice but to download a new ISO :( - Something which is not nice to do in this country of ours :(
Burned the new ISO's to disc and installation completed with no errors. ;)
Nice. It could be that when you write ISO's at high speeds 40x + they can fail from time to time. The recommended speed is nothing higher than 24x.
