Stillborn Puppy CD. Solved: bad download.

#1 Post by VK6KEG »

Good evening

I just downloaded 1.0.3
and toasted it in the normal way (ie no "multisession")

when I boot it the splash screen comes up with the boot: prompt but after that I get

boot failure disk error 20, AX=427A, drive EF
press any key to retry.
I have tried optios 1, 2 and 5. the same.

hardware is PIII 666.66MHz, 128M

:(

Did you MD5 your ISO file? (to check for errors)?
If an error burn at a lower speed

Does it boot on other machines?
