Hiya all

RE: My previous post on installing FC-3.

on a more serious note....

Is it always this much of a pain to install?
Or do I have a knackered CD drive?


(When it did the Cd scan at the start of the install - all 4 scanned fine 1st time tho....)

Please advise... as I'm thinking of mow doing a full install of all components - but bit concerned I might not get it installed at all if I try again!

I had problems with FC2, but I finally realized that I was burning the CD's at too high speed. I must have had crappy CD's. Once I lowered the speed, I didnt have any problems.

But that doesnt seem to be your problem because they checked clean.

right this is it....

doing install of all components..... gulps (3,500Mb) gulp...
(hopefully - a one time painful install!)

prayer is good at this point!

Almost there on the FULL install....

YEEEESSSSS!
Plus idiots "start" button!


lessons learn't

1. Disc Check - impt.... because...

2. If keep getting read errors - keep re-trying

3. Pop CD out then in again if have to
* Time hitting the "ENTER" Button when CD is spinning at max... (?!?!? hey it works!)


I'm guessing it really helps if:
1. decent CD burns
2. Quality CD Reader
3. And don't put the PC on side - so CD player is vertical! (wobbling Cds and all that!)
