I am having trouble installing from my HD...  The installation software
does not recognize my hardware.

I currently have an hda1 (WinDoze95) and hdb1 (RH303).  The very first
time I installed RH via HD I had no trouble at all.  This time I
downloaded the RH4 and followed the directions exactly as well.  Guess
what?  When it comes time for it to find the RPMs on the hda1 it says

	"Error reading directory."

When I try to make it read hdb1 again it says:

	"Error: device already mounted."

It is obvious that the software recognizes my devices (the brand names
and disk sizes even appear correctly during bootup).  What is going on?

I hope I don't have to switch over to Slackware 96...

PS -- is there any way I can hook my video camera to my Linux box?
