>Description:
      I installed 4.10 with no problems and wanted to reformat and partition the drive to install 5.3. I burned 5.3 to a CD and boot loader reports multiple UDMA warnings and errors on startup. I tried disabling ACPI and still got the same warnings. I know my hard drive works fine under 4.10. Bottom line I can't repartion or write to disk while installing 5.3.
