Ixthusdan Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Things to do: If you downloaded, make sure you verified file integrity with the md5sum. If you burned the disks from iso's, try a slower burn speed, or use name brand media. Have you experienced any kind of oddities with the system, even with a different os? If yes, please describe. That should keep you busy! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Yeah.... what he said (excellant advice Mr Ixthusdan). :D I find those are usually caused by a bad burn due to a bad download or burning too fast. I would also add to stay away from cheap colored disks (they are more trouble then anything) AND, Welcome aboard! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
