JoeBobJr Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I have a Dell Inspiron E1405 I think it's also called a 640m or something of the other but my laptop shows E1405 on it. I installed 2 gigs of G.skill PC2 5300 memory the best memory I could find for this laptop on it so besides that nothing has been touched. I know my laptop supports sse3 I ran cpuz before I even attempted to download a copy of this Leo4Allv3. MD5 checksum: 48b3bea091a9247238b6534098e102f9. All the loading goes fine and I get to the welcome screen to accept the agreement and continue with the installation. I pick a partition to install on erase it and then create a new partition. Once I'm out of the disk utility I choose that partition after it asks me where to install and I click continue. This is where it goes to the next screen where it varifies the contents of the dvd to make sure everything is right before install I suppose. Well as soon as it starts to read it says it can't verify the contents and asks me to reboot. This is the 6th or 7th time I've reburned this dvd from two different iso images I download and I'm getting the same message. I thought the first iso might have gotten corrupt but it opened in poweriso and burned in poweriso just fine. I even tried burning it with nero and a couple other programs. I also tried at different speeds thinking it needed to be burned slow. Slowest speed was 4x so shouldn't have been no problem. When I burned with nero I asked nero to check the whole dvd after it was burned to make sure all contents were fine each time I burned it and everything went smooth on the burn. I dunno what the problem is. I thought well maybe my cd-rom is going bad or something of that sort but it installs vista, any linux distro just fine. I've installed many on this laptop playing around and this is the first time I have had something tell me it can't read. I've never been able to install mac on any of my other machines because of compatibilty but from the stats of my machine it seems all the hardware is just fine. Just some reason it won't read the contents of the dvd and if I tell it to skip that step it starts to install and it doesn't get far before it says it can't read again and stops. I dunno what is going on I thought you guys may be able to help me out here. I'd greatly appreciate it.

JoeBobJr Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 I took a screen shot of my device manager to show the stats of this machine to anyone that it might help out. I've uploaded it to my personal web site ftp.
