Im just gonna download the DVD version. But in case you still want to know what happened, when im at reboot prompt at the end of disk1 i cant eject it. I can eject it after post and before it looks for the boot sector. when i do that, it gives me the famous FAILURE TO BOOT... (or sumthin like that) which means theres no boot sector or the boot sector is corrupted.
if i leave the disk1 in after the .......... then i go to grub and get to the screen where it asks me to load the kernel, i eject the disk then hit enter and it gives me a "can not find kernel" error or sumthin like that. then i go to the grub command prompt and type kernel / (i did other commands that i saw online too, but i dont know what im doing at this point) and it gives me no such filesystem or sumthin like that(dont remember exactly). then it tells me to press any key and it brings me back. If i decide to leave the disk1 in after that and try to eject right before i get into the gui it will give me a disk read error or it will bring me to the begginning of disk1. But like i said before im just gonna download the dvd version. By the way, my boot sequence is always cdrom, hard drive 0, floppy while im doing this.
