I have a new Acer Aspire M3203 (AMD Athlon II, 4Gb Ram, Nvidia GeForce 210, HD 750Gb) with Windows 7 already installed.

I ran the Mandriva ONE 2010 today, everthing seemed to be recognised and the software (OOo, Firefox, Amarok etc.) ran well . With that being so, I clicked the LIVE INSTALL icon and nothing happened. Itried several times and then decided to use the Mandriva 2010 Free DVD instead.

Almost immediately I got a "BootLogo file is too large" message at which the installation came to an abrupt halt. I tried several times to install Mandriva 2010 Free but each time came up with the same error.

Does anyone have experience of this situation and/or know a way of bypassing this error message?

Thanks in advance for any assistance,

Tony Littlejohn

no but try changing to text mode boot up?

Aus9,
Many thanks for the reply. As you suggested, I tried out entering "Linux" after the "BootLogo file is too large" error message.

The installation continued until another error message appeared saying:

"Cannot read partition table of device mapper /pdc_ccbdaihclb"

I have since discovered that the Hard Drive is a SEAGATE ST3750528AS .

Could this be the source of the problem and if so is there a workaround?
