hard drive installs are making me insane?

i tried a 6gig notebook drive i have which i know works fine in windows. and i get segmentation fault !

i tried a dekstop 3 gig drive and i get a read error on boot?

its like i cannot win with DSL ?

the bootable cd works but i'd like to get this working with a hard drive?

Is it possible im doing something wrong?
ive followed instructions on this site for the install
cfdisk to partition the drive
then dsl-hdinstall
then install lilo and i reboot?

maybe im missing something?

tried just recently to install onto a new computer system which had fedora core 3 on it and it resulted in a vs kernel panic error after the install?

Could it be a bad CD burn? Did you check the md5 sum, and which speed did you burn it with? - I seem to remember that some people have reported that burning it at a low speed will help.

Get Ultimate Boot CD and use the Darik's Boot and Nuke, wipe the drive with all 0's, its always best to start completely fresh harddrive, no data, no partitions, no nothing..just 0's
