I assumed this account started, say, a number of weeks ago, and the OP stuck with the original media for continuity's sake. But if the full account is posted in due course, I hope it's more informative than would be suggested by statements like: "The installer however did not like the answer" "Once again I did not really have much choice in the matter" "the installer did not seem to like that answer either" (Personally, I only tested rc2 on a BIOS-booting machine. As expected, I still got the "seems that this computer is configured to boot via EFI" screen that's entirely inappropriate for this class of PC.) Cheers, David.
