had an issue driving me crazy for a couple of day's. i was trying to install RH 7.2 to a 4GB HDD. i kept getting the message "An error occured transferring the install image to your hard drive. You are probably out of space." i got this just after i enterred all of the drive parameters: boot = 50mb, root = 3GB, swap = 512.

what i did to fix this was to go into the BIOS (Award 97) and switch the mode of the drive from LBA mode to Normal mode. maybe this is not the fix for everyone who gets this message, but if you have an older BIOS you might want to consider trying this first.
