Hi Hawk
Can you run the cd live? I'm not understanding if this is an error message when you try to run the cd of after you install to hard drive.

This happens when I boot from the CD live. I have not installed to the hard drive, just trying to run from the CD. It goes through many lines of boot up messages and then when it gets to the line "Updating fstab...", it just hangs. I have to power down to recover the use of my PC. The CD is fine, no scratches, etc.

I wonder if after noticing that, did you inspect the disk for scratches, maybe it was damaged, when it was delivered, for example ?.
Let me tell you that according to Warren, he uses professional equipments & the best available media to burn the isos, & after the disks are burned, they're checked with special equipments.
