I posted when CM9K was released about my problems installing on this PC. My only drive here is a CD RW drive and although I did manage to get installed by copying rather than installing even now on this PC I can't patch the original file without error. I did have a 52 speed CD drive also, but it failed some time ago. The current read speed of the CD RW drive seems to be 24x, Mitsumi CR-4804 TE. I'd be interested to know if anyone installed with a slower speed CD? Sarah.
