Alex7575 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 To all: I've been lurking all the usual boards for an answer, but after hours and hours looking, I finally decided to ask: I downloaded the ISO from the interwebs and burned it successfully (I think) to a DVD using ImgBurn at 1x speed, and with a successful verify. I have Vista installed on the C drive on my laptop. I put the DVD in the drive > F8 > -x -v -legacy (and other combinations) > I get all the verbose information > Language select screen > Click on blue "-->" button > Get rainbow pinwheel > dvd drive eventually stops spinning > force reboot (waited for as long as 30 mins) I tried disabling all my wireless devices, modems, lan , all the "non essentials" for the computer to run. I also tried installing it on a D620, the problem is different, but can't even get to the language screen. Is there a right way to burn these images? Or is the harddrive needed to be prepared before installation (partitioning, fdisk, format, etc...)? Anyone has any idea of what's going on?
