7.0BETA4 cannot install. acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (1 retry left)
I've tried to install both 7.0-BETA4-i386-bootonly.iso and 7.0-BETA4-i386-disc1.iso on a Dell Optiplex 745, Model# DCTR with acd0: CDROM <TSSTcorp CD-ROM TS-L162C/DE05> at ata3-master UDMA33 The booting doesn't get past the acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying error. 6.2 installs fine. Any ideas on what to try? Thanks robert
