Before doing anything else, I think you should test the CD in another computer. I've had perfectly good CDRs suddenly go bad. I nearly replaced my CDROM drive thinking it was defective, only to discover that it was the CDR itself (which had been working fine just a few days earlier). CDRs are not as "permanent" as the manufacturers claim - I just threw out a whole bunch of 50 CDs because they proved to be so unreliable. regards, Robert On Thu, 29 Apr 2004 09:35:15 -0700 "MrBluez2U" <mrbluez2u@earthlink.net> wrote: > My system hangs when installing 5.2.1.
