Can't install other operating systems

[eincrazybiker]

Hey guys. Try to help me out here. You know when u first install a operatiing system. It predoes the drivers in the blue screen area right after u boot from cd. After it loads the drivers. it says booting from windows. then you hit enter to continue to install windows. and you hit it again to go to the user agreements and it says please wait.......... and it stays like that for 10 min... doesn't go anywhere. it also freezes at the past where it says hit enter to contiue to agreements. I"m not kidding every other time it's one or the other. first that one. then the other. never the same two.. it's really strange. i'm thinking it's my hard drive.. maybe something in bios. i have it overclocked... should i try to run defaults........ what else could it be.... let me know. THanks for everything. Jared

Hi Jared

First thing I suggest is to back off the OC, I usually keep it at stock when installing an OS.

Is the partition you're putting this other OS on "active"?

Yup, if your gonna put an OS on there and wanna boot from it, it has to be an active partition.
