1300302 2012-09-13 08:26:00 OK, throw away that disc and make a new one, reburning often results in errors that render sensitive files like kernel images corrupt.
Better to use a non rewriteable medium and burn at a slow speed.
In my experience, anyway.

You could load the .ISO to a flash drive using unetbootin and boot and install from that if you want.

1300304 2012-09-13 08:50:00 Doh! Sometimes I am stupid. I burnt a download of mint which had failed a quarter of the way through, not the one which had downloaded sucsessfully :blush:
Well, I'll get it all set up again, might not have time tonight as i have to be somewhere, might have to leave it till tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure he didn't say anything about problems due to a failed download.

The problem with my router, it crapped out halfway through and I didn't notice. Yes, I should have been paying more attention. No, that does not mean I shouldn't try linux.

1300308 2012-09-13 09:11:00 tmrafi is definitely on something :D KarameaDave (15222)
1300309 2012-09-13 09:21:00 tmrafi is definitely on something :D
Found my mistake. I had managed to successfully download it, but hadn't deleted the failed download. When it came to it, I selected the one that had failed partway through. Bad mistake that....
Anyway, would do it tonight, but have to leave as of now. See you all tomorrow so you can solve my problems then :D

1300310 2012-09-13 09:37:00 Ok, first issue already encountered - before I even run the disk. When I start up, I still get the option to boot into windows 8, even though I formatted the partition it was on. How can I stop this?
You have to set the bios to boot from the CD.
