I use the boot floppy and type install, and a 60 meg partition on my drive is formatted and several files are copied over. At this point, the system boots from the hard disk, and the OS is started up. On start up, I get the following error and the system reboots again: cannot find label ( no disk label ) panic: cannot mount root vm_fault ... I have a Maxtor 7120 AT hard disk, with DOS-6 on my primary partition. The drive is IDE, and the system bus is ISA. Does anyone know what may be going wrong here? Amir
