Fedora 13 install

[Rod McCown]

Already done that, and can build and save partitions, freezes when
formatting filesystems. I just successfully loaded Mandrake 8.1 a couple of
days ago, so I'm pretty sure  that the hardware is ok. I'm downloading
Fedora 10 right now to see if maybe it will load.

Can you boot the F13 dvd in rescue mode?
Sure, it will not find an installation, that's OK.
You will get a shell.

 From the shell see if you can use either parted
or fdisk and see if they freeze.
If so, you might have some HD hardware or connector problem.
