Unable to install FC3:

but when start linux + any comand option it go to the first blue scren "wellcom to fedora core 3" "CD found" mediacheck and it hangs.

The CD is ok , tested in other PC without problem.

you used mediacheck? hmm.. well, in my experience, i had done that.. crashes/fails.. but when i skipped it, directly installed.. no problems at all. But still, it is probable that the hardware has the problem.

Thanks to all for your help,

the_profiler, ther is a whay to skip mediacheck? How? Does it go direct to anaconda installer?

gunaysay, That is what is hapening It hangs and I'm unable to choosing "OK" or "SKIP"

rdionne1187, No, but I got a USB mouse and try desable USB with "nousb" option and still got the same hang.

rdionne1187, you send me in the right direction... USB

I replace the usb mouse with an old serial mouse and diconected all usb cable from my PC,
now testing my CD's :D

Hope I will be able to use my usb after install

yeah i've got a usb mouse hooked up now, i had a usb keyboard during the install and i couldnt use it, the only reason i knew was because the keyboard glows blue and it just shut off when i touched a button on it lol, but it took my logitech usb mouse right off

there's an option to skip mediacheck upon booting the cd. I think there really is a prompt for every distribution?
