"Unable to find devices of the type needed for this installation type."

[Raab Nelson]

Well, yes and no. I have the 64 bit DVD image, and it fails the media check, but installs fine.  I think that the media that you burned onto is the biggest factor, other than having a corrupt iso.

If your burn was bad then those sections with driver data can be
corrupted.

hard drive. It has apparently found the CD, since that's where it is
booting from. If I say "use driver disk," it lets me look at /dev/hda1
or /dev/hda5, so it appears it can find the hard drive. Any idea what
device it cannot find, or what I do to continue the install? If I say
"select driver," the listed drivers COULD be for either the CD or hard
drive (drivers like

Thanks! I ran a media check on another machine (the one I burned the CDs
on). I'll try it on the machine I'm trying to load it on. I'll assume that
if it passes the media check, the CDs are ok. Does that sound right?

THANKS!

Harold
