Hi, I've just put together a brand new computer in late January. I've got Windows 7 on a hard drive and another blank 80 gig hard drive. I've tried installing SL with the Hazard 10.6.6i boot cd (my friend said it was the easiest). I followed the directions but every time it always stops in the middle of the installation. My specs are as follows

Biostar H61MLB
8 Gigs RAM
HIS Radeon HD 6570 IceQ 1gb
300gb Hitachi HDD
80gb Maxtor HDD
Intel Celeron G530 2.4ghz

Am I using the wrong method? Or is my hardware just not supported? Any help is appreciated!

I would make it 4GB RAM (you can add the other 4GB after installation). Your mobo is probably not supported.
