I was also wondering that Emmanuel, being in a computer centre
could have just taken one of several disks lying around
without first "setting" the disk to msdos especially if they
had been used before as raid, lvm etc... hence suggesting he
use a different disk to try.

The machine itself is having 3 hard disks, I just tried using only
one of them, it worked fine. But on putting back the other two, the
same problem appears again. It should be a hardware issue as you are
saying

Driver jumper settings? IDE or SATA? Ric

Thanks all for your help. Will try all of your suggestions on monday
once am back again in the office.

Am also thinking to call a supplier of these machines so that he can
sort out the ram issue.
