This fuilty/incompatible CD-drive could be an issue.
I tried to install from a DVD player and got only this flash screen as someone
elses mention. I had two CD-drives to this PC so I switched to the other and the
installation went ok. I took it as the DVD player was fuilty, but later it have
not had any problem with playing normal DVD videos.
