Since I'm putting this on a second hard drive, I wiped everything off the drive and started over. When it was loading the BIN to first directory, I noticed I was getting a lot of "/stand/cpio: invalid header: checksum error" messages. Then on the window with progress bar, I got a message "write failure on transfer". I acknowledged the error and received a message asking to try again yes/no. After retrying and failing a number of times, I selected no and the docs installed OK. After this every part of the install had the write failure until I stopped the install. On monitoring side, there were invalid header errors and other errors also.
In Greg Lehey's book "The Complete FREEBSD", he notes can be problems with ATAPI CD-ROMs. I have a Acer 36X CDROM that reports "ATAPI 36X MAXIMUM" when the computer boots. Could there be problem with the CDROM drive? Is there something I do for this? Or do I have a bad install CD? I just purchased the intall CDs. Also the Hard drive in fairly new. I bought it and installed six months ago, but have not used till now.
Any help you can give will be appreciated.
Thanks, Mike
