Thank you for your reply. I think the rebooting issues was caused by Windows or a BIOS problem. I've had the system for over a month, it has been running 24x7 serving bit torrents, constantly (while loop) doing dd of each mount point to /dev/null all while coping files from my media server to a local hard drive. The system never missed a beat .... that said I still don't know how to install Linux from scratch w/o getting the failed to set xfer message. FYI: All Linux distro's (Fedora, Ubunto, Knoppix, ...) I've tried have the same issue.
