I've been building a PC for the better part of a year and a half now, and it's been a major ordeal. My first time doing something like this...amazingly, I bought not one, but two bad motherboards. But, just stuffed a new KG-7 in it yesterday, and now it's purring like a kitten.
One problem. I tried to re-install 8.2, but every time it got to the point where it said "Loading into memory," it would fail, and give me the message "Second stage installation failed :-(, something or other (my words - can't quite remember what it said) is not a directory." So just for ha ha's, I yanked the CD-RW, which in this case is a PlexWriter 16/10/40A, which was reliable as a brick in another PC, and replaced it with the stock DVD-ROM from a three year old 500mhz Compaq, and it worked just fine. Can anyone offer any tips for getting the Plextor to work properly, or perhaps it will just not work with this machine...if so, is there any way to confirm that? Or, has that in fact already been confirmed by the second stage failure? -- peace, Rog http://www.slammingrooves.com
