if you read the dvd from windows, you see this exe file
Given that the DVDs are bootable, why bother installing from Windows?
Well, I wanted to get the DVD in the drive before rebooting. Catching the drive before the boot sequence gets to far can sometimes be a pain. I was doing something before I rebooted and the little window popped up with the "What do you want to do with this disk message." Otherwise I probably would never have known there was a Windows installer file. Lew Wolfgang wrote:
I would suspect a badly burned DVD if the media check fails. Maybe a bad DVD drive? I've certainly seen that happen!
It has two brand new DVD drives. Both the old ones died within a month of each other. jdd-gmane wrote:
probably your dvd is faulty, can you make the media test from the initial install?
Media test fails at the splash screen. A bad DVD burn is a possibility.
therre is also a md5sum, but I wonder if you will know how to use it
I didn't copy down the md5sum from the download site. I might go back and get it and see if the downloaded file is good before burning another disk. That would check that the download was good. -- “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests”. - Patrick Henry - _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
