What do you know? Patience actually worked. After letting the computer just sit and think about who knows what for seriously like 25 minutes (after taking 20 minutes to boot up) both hard drives were fully accessible. I copied the...

If it did sell, go to thread tools at the top of the page when you view the thread and select 'delete thread' (newer NBF site version may be different, I use the old style).

Well, Knoppix wouldn't boot either. Said it couldn't find the filesystem on the CD. I ran the boot checkdisk thingy that is supposed to check the CD for burn errors and I couldn't really tell if it did anything, so maybe I did it...

Well, that didn't take long. Going through the Gentoo installation handbook, it says a minimum of 1.5gb required plus whatever swap space is. Isn't that kinda large? I expected it to be a lot smaller.
