Hi,
Since you can boot from the 'DVD' ISO image doesn't mean the image is valid. The other possibility would be with the recognition of the device after boot. You could mount the image on the loop device then direct the installer to the image. Without details I'm just speculating.
The 'md5sum' or 'hash' is very important to learn to use and too regularly get in the habit of utilizing it. You can get a sum checker for M$ if need be; '
md5sum.exe'.
If you downloaded the CD/DVD ISO then be sure to check the md5sum for the original ISO. From the cli;
Code:
~#cd /downloadisolocation #cdromiso.iso cdromiso.md5
~#md5sum -c cdromiso.md5 #substitute the correct name to check
If the ISO md5 is OK then you should check the image burn with
'CdromMd5sumsAfterBurning''.
This way you will know if the burn was OK!
This will check the download ISO with the known md5sum that you also get with the ISO. You should do the check for any download that you might perform, even a LiveCD. Plus burn the image. Sometimes you may need to lower the burn rate to get a valid burn.
