Can't finish Linux install...weird problem...

We had a server get nailed recently. No biggy, average hack job. Did standard wipe hard drive n reinstall. Problem is it goes so far and freezes on the reinstall.

System specs - Gigabyte MB, WD HD.
OS - Mandrake 8

The first pass thru it got started to save to HD right after the X config n froze. Ever since then it freezes right after Network config.

I did a full wipe of the hard drive and have tested both the HD and MB using manufacturer tools and PCCheck..both come up fine. I reset the MBR, still no luck. I used linux fdisk to wipe out all the partitions n reset them up, still no go. >< I'm stumped. Can't finish Linux install...weird problem... Any Ideas?

Danke.
