Downloaded file and cut the DVD. The first sign of any problem was when the PC would not boot from the DVD drive.. I wasn't sure that it should, so I booted from the spare HD and asked for the install to be on drive 0. they were clearly marked, but I was scared that it would write to the XP drive.
At 64% the install failed.
Thankfully the small drive still works, and there's quite a lot of data on the correct drive, but the main issue is, should it have booted from the DVD?
I intend to cut another DVD, then if that fails, take to the bottle. Mmm 2:40 Am why do we do this?
How do I do a checksum of the file? I see some check numbers in this thread but I don't know how to compare them.
BTW, it took 4 hours to download, that's not very good is it? I have SBC on 'Two Wire' phone line. R
