Question error populating transaction: failure


Fatal Error while running installation of Fedora 20 (32 bit). Message box reads as follows:

The following error occurred while installing. This is a fatal error and installation will be aborted. error populating transaction: failure: Packages/s/spice-gtk3-0.21-5.fc20.i686.rpm from anaconda[Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. Exit Installer

I am newer than now and have no idea where to begin or what this message means. I'm attempting to install a Dual Boot with Fedora 20 and my installed Windows 7 OS.

your help would be most appreciated

Kris

Welcome to this community. Would I be right in thinking this is a read disk error. Perhaps the disk is scratched or a bad burn.

I am not a fedora expert but from what you have written thats what I am thinking. Also is your cd/dvd drive ok????

I would suggest a fresh copy of fedora to correct this problem sounds like a duff disk to me.
