Re: [guide-user] Problems with hard drive install

Denis Boucher Jan 30, 2002

After reading many of the posts regarding the installation of Guide 8, I
came to the following conclusion.
Guide 8 appears to have the same installation procedures as Guide 7.

1) Do a simple install (cd operation only)
2) Install Guide 8 patch
3) Open Guide 8 and do HD installation.


I have noticed those who have done HD installation prior to installing the
patch have reported problems. The same usually pop up in Guide 7. I am
assuming Guide 8 reacts the same way.

This may need to be confirmed by Bill.

It may help a few.
