Thanks for the thought Robert, but "I AM able to boot from the disk created from FC2-i386-rescuecd.iso..." I didn't burn a data cd w/ the iso file as the only file on the cd :-) I download WinMD5, and checked the files against the hashes. It turned out that the iso files I originally burned from were ok. So, I re-burned the problematic cd (taking the advise to use a cd-rw this time and slow it down to the lowest speed), and everything is working. Thanks for all of your responses. ++Jeffrey ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert" <kerplop@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2004 3:19 PM Subject: Re: FC2-i386-disc1.iso > Jeffrey Belback wrote: > > Has anyone else had a problem w/ > > http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/iso/FC2-i386- > > disc1.iso?
