Hi Joel,

I can't help you with the mirror question, but can you let me know what 
laptop you have and why Mdk 10 won't install on it ?

I have an HP NX9010 
(http://www.ht.com.au/Scripts/xworks.exe?PART:M1158#Tof), I've google'd 
and haven't found anything usefull.

James Budworth suggested reburning CD 1 at the lowest speed and see if 
that works, I downloaded and reburned the ISO at my burner's lowest 
speed but I still can't get Mdk 10 Official to get past the initial 
install stage - it hangs at the end of hardware detection.

I would download and burn Mdk 9.2 but I don't have any burnable CD's 
with me and I haven't got around to buying any.

Tomorrow I leave for Karlstad and a mate there has Intel based hardware 
I can test my installations CD's on to see if they work. He also has a 
burner and prolly CD's so I might give Mdk 9.2 a go from his place.

Cheers
Kai
