HD Install :: Install problems



I've posted the error message on another forum http://www.frihost.com/forums/vt-64372.html#540793
Please check it out; any help on interpreting what the error message is saying, and how to fix it, is much appreciated.

I tried cleaning the CD ROM last night with a compact disc laser lens cleaner. The media (CD) I believe is good because it boots fine in my newer computer.

One final thing I should add, I tried using a newer CD ROM I have, but could not get the computer to boot from the CD ROM. I tried booting directly from the CD ROM, and also tried booting from a floppy first, then reading the CD ROM, both ways failed. I think the newer CD ROM I used may be faulty.

I still maintain a read errors indicates faulty media or hardware.
Could be your cdrom reader is out of alignment or mis-aligned as to the cdrom burner.

Would there be any reason why I have more progress with the .iso vs the syslinux?  From my understanding, the syslinux is suppose to work better with older hardware, but this does not seem to be the case.  I think at this point I'm going to re-burn the CD at 4x and see what happens.
I think you meant isolinux vs syslinux (.iso is just a filename extension for the standard disc image format)

They are just different bootloaders, so I am leaning towards bad media (since it looks like you were already past the bootloader)
