RE: ISO Image Problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've been through this five times now and on two of the tries, I've done
just that and had the install fail.  However, this last batch of ISOs came
from a site reported in this list as being a reliable mirror, so I'm going
to try skipping the mediacheck again and see what happens.  If that fails,
I'll get Roxio out, turn on the write verification so I *KNOW* my CD is
properly burned.

If that fails, then I'll try using a different CDROM drive in my target
machine.  I seriously doubt that's the problem because I had Windows 2000
Enterprise Server on this box and had no problems with the drive at all.
But, one never knows, so I swap it out and see....

Try skipping mediacheck, just for grins and giggles.  There is a strong
possibility it will successfully complete the install anyway.

Tried that, no go.

Yes.  I'm booting from disk 1 and running "linux mediacheck" at the
boot: prompt. I've also tried starting the install process which takes you
into the mediacheck anyway.
