<div>The disk passes checksum when it is burned. BUT it fails the self test at install. I have burned it 3 times. </div> <div> </div> <div>On this same system I loaded windows and stopped at the OS Key. when it booted up again it showed the normal windows logo. Though I am learning a lot by fire, It will be good to move foward on my projects.</div> <div> </div> <div>I have a choice Order OpenSUSE Boxed, or get an other botherboard (that supports, SATA-(2), DDR2, Core™ 2 Duo E6600) I really dont want to putt the CPU off that motherboard. </div> <div> </div> <div>And NO, I'm not making it into a windows pc. </div> <div> </div> <div><BR><B><I>DRIVERAY@ameritech.net</I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">>As I said I have an off brand Motherboard.<BR><BR>Have you torture test this mobo?
