Well, using a old laptop, celeron 500, with 64mo of ram, it works *very* well !
I guess your problem may come from DIN keyboard or very old chipset, maybe...

Re: HDD as unallocated with LiveCD 0.3.3 - boot beta versions problems

yesterday -24th i found Data Lifeguard Tools program for my HD WesternDigital, model AC26400.
i tried it yesterday, it found "one or more errors on HD", i let them repair and after reboot i tried again GPARTED.
first last beta version, but it stopped at the same place like i wrote before.
then i run stable version 0.3.3-0 and finally it showed HD like it really is. couldn't believe.
i haven't tried any formatting yet.
but hope that problem is SOLVED.

i don't know what kind of error it repaired, but it was HD mistake.

But still beta version remain unsolved.

Thank You Larry.
