Post by nick »

Hi
The first thing, try the CD on another computer if possible to make sure it has been downloaded and burnt OK

Next, could you post the specifications and motherboard of your computer

check out the wiki and the trouble shooting cd.

if it didnt work in the other computer peaty high chance it is a bad DVD.

try the gnome mint cd, is seems more stable.

Im very disappointed with this problem.
No doubt. But this problem is with your Internet service: The ISO file was corrupted during download, and you've got a pain-in-the-arse slow connection.

Always check the file MD5 before burning a disc. Otherwise you're just making shiny coasters for your coffee table.

it takes 10 hours to download that 1.9GB of mint
??? Bianca KDE has 808MB :shock:
Windows is extremely fast after a fresh install. If you want to make it stay that way: - don't use it.
