I don't think its the CD (DVD) reader, as I tried the upgrade(s) from update  
manager (net), the (real) alt CD & mounted ISO (both betas)

Tried the (beta 1) install from (real) CD, virtual (Deamon Win) CD & USB stick 
(via USB Installer) 

Beta1 did run on a AMD Turon (64 bit) Laptop, from the CD (not tried the USB on 
it)

I also tried  the (beta 2) install from virtual (Deamon Win) CD & USB stick 
(via USB Installer) the real  CD would not burn from the ISO so not triedthat 
on Laptop either

I do need to get Desktop to work
