New to SME server - booting install CD problems
« on: November 20, 2006, 02:24:20 PM »
I am trying to install SME server 7 on an old Celeron 1200mhz machine. I intend to use it on a home network, initially as a domain controller. After POST, the machine attempts to boot from the CD and returns:

"ISOLINUX 2.11 2004-08-16  Copyright (C) 1994-2400 H. Peter Anvin
isolinux: Disk error 80, AX = 42FD, drive 9F

boot failed: press a key to retry..."

Last week I installed another OS on the same hardware without any issues.
I've tried re-downloading and re-burning the CD a number of times.
I believe the hardware is suitable (if not ideal) for this software.
I've tried 2 different hard drives and 3 different CD drives with the same result for all combinations.

Any assistance (including directions as to what I should read) will be gratefully received.

cheers

Damien

If you re downloaded this from Nlugg mirror last week then there was known problems with that mirror, please try another mirror until we have the Nlugg mirror sorted. Thanks!
