I have an AMD K6-2/350 with a 60 gig new harddisk and im trying to run xandros linux on it (hoping to speed it up) and my fist prolbem is it keeps recognizing it as slave, not master, iv messed with the shunts on the harddisk and the standard CMOS steup but can't get it. But thats not the real prolbem when i load my burned xandros cd it loads but gets stuck on initializing kernel or if i select custom setup it says CRC Error the hardidsk doesnt have an OS on it so i can't download a CRC Error fixer.

Please someonew help me!

set the hd as master, try a cd/dvd disc cleaner on the rom drive & wash the cd in warm soapy water & dry with a soft cloth

right now don't know if crc error is to do with the 60gig as slave yet jumpered as master or if with the cd. that is why i suggested try the 60gig hd as master on other computer without windows hd hooked up to see if still get error or not.
