It tries to boot off of the disc, then boots up off the hard drive (windows). It is a Acer Aspire 4750. It has 3 MB L3 cache, 2.10 GHz, DDR3 1333 MHz, 35 W processor, 2 gigs ram, 2 hard drives totalling 650 gig space. I'll figure out how to do a checksum and boot with nomodeset and get back to you with the info.
