      During initial install the computer stops responding before it ever loads any options. See image "error".

      I have used this disk in couple other computers without any issue…
      I have tried at least 4 different DVD drives and it always shows this issue.
      I have tried 2 different hard drives.
      I have switched every setting in my bios possible.
      I have access to another computer with the same exact motherboard and it installed no issue.
      When I put that motherboard in this case it would not install and locked up same point.

      I think that is about everything I can think of at the moment that I have done. This is pretty frustrating.. I have IPCop running on the machine right now. it just doesn't give me the options I need like pfSense says it does... lol...

      Thanks for any input or direction provided...  I do have a USB mem stick but my bios doesn't allow boot from USB Mem stick.. only USB floppy, dvd and zip drive..

        Try disabling your A drive in bios. Unplug the drive.  Have you checked it to make sure there is no disk in drive A?

        That would be the 5-1/4" floppy…  or am I thinking too DOS like?
