Boy, I am having such a hard time figuring out what's wrong here. I had
a couple of old beater computers, tried to install fc-5 from a cd set.
Hash-verified, should have been decent disks, etc. No dice. Neither
computer would "see" the boot disk. Thought, "oh, well." Needed a new
box anyway. Picked up an emachines t-3418 yesterday. Burned fc-5 iso
disk 1 onto a new Taiyo Yuden 700mb disk - verified that the data is
present & accounted for (SHA-1 hash matches). And still! Despite any
changes I make to the BIOS settings, I cannot get this computer to boot
from the install disk - tried booting from boot.iso, from the recovery
disk, nothing. Obviously the common denominator here is me, but I can't
figure out what I might be doing wrong. Can a disk checkout hash-wise
and still be bad? What am I missing here? Could it be the windows
software I am using to burn with?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Peter
