I finally got it to download an burned a copy. I put it in computer, and restarted, it went loading files, windows starting, gray screen with a dos window, dos went away, and nothing. I could hear the CD drive spinning, then it finally stopped. The gray screen has a splash of light streaks on the right upper corner, so it's not totally gray, but still, that's as far as it goes.
I tried booting from CD drive, and Hard drive. Same outcome. Even tried starting in safe mode. Drivers loaded, and got a black screen with the safe mode in the 4 corners, and nothing.
Could the other failed installations with the other CD restore disks have corrupted the HD? They will show they are installing, even though they don't work as planned, this one doesn't even try to install.
Would buying another HD be an easy route to take?
I'm not good at software as you can tell.
