install it on my pretty old</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>machine (P-II 350, 64 RAM..). But after the 'Media
Check' it always shows 'FAIL'.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Someone told me the problem is either with the CDs
or my CD-ROM drive (Asus 50X). Then i went to my cousins house and checked on
his PC with Asus 52X drive.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The media check showed success. I brought that NEW
CD-drive along with me and tried again on my PC. guess what.....FAIL !

halfway</DIV>
