You could holding off for a few days until FC5 is released instead of
trying to install FC4.
Anyway, do you have both SATA and IDE drives installed? I have a Dell
Optiplex that uses two 80 Gig SATA drives but has no IDE drives
installed. It did not have any issues upgrading FC4 from FC3. It is not
a GX620 though.
