I am using a non raid promise fast track controler card for my hard drives since I am running 3 physical drives.
everytime i try to install mandrake it gets to a certian point and hangs up right after i tell it what kind of mouse i have.
when i first boot from the first cd each one of my drives give a lost interup msg about 5 or 6 times.
can anyone shed some light on this.

both my optical drives reside on their own ide channel and my zip drive is a slave on the secondary channel.

on my controller card. i boot windows on the drive that is on the primary channel by it's self. the other tw hard drives are master and slave on the secondary channel of my controller card.
also my windows drive is fat32.
