Hello William;

Are you thinking BIOS update for the motherboard or for the DVD drive, or both? The motherboard has Intel's latest and greatest. The DVD drive I'm not so sure of. It's been awhile since I looked at it's status vis-a-vis bios versions. I've not found bios updaters under Linux. Windows, yes; Linux no. I could remove the drive, put it into the XP box and check it's version that way? Don't you think it may be easier to try the CD set instead? They're about $7.95. The DVD was $4.95 with $5 shipping. RHEL 3 installed easily that way, back in the day. It took 9 CD's at the time. CentOS comes on 6. What do you think? I thought it would be easier to use a single DVD, not envisioning it might be a problem. Dumb me.

Thanks Dag. I'm wondering if I'll have a similar problem with a multi CD

mention. The large DVD ISO image is not recognizable by the system. At 
the time the system was put together, there were no DVD ISO images, just 
CD. The DVD ROM drive works just fine. Plays movies etc. The dual boot,

Possible BIOS upgrade available?
