https install is painfully slow(as i only have a 3 megabit connection) but it at least tries to install..after fighting timeouts and other connectivity issues. 32 bi installs fine..64 bit refuses to install saying i don't have the cd in the drive(irregardless if i am using cd's or dvd's.) the https install has died 4 times now saying it's timing out..unfortunately the other 5 machines here are not having any issues. I need a machine working pretty quick..if this is not solved soon i'll send this back and build one myself. sincerely, William Warren Damien Solodow wrote: > Are you trying to install the 64-bit or the 32-bit? > While the install is running, some of the other virtual consoles display > logs and error information.
