    When trying to boot from the Operating System Recovery CD, my x6000 boots from the CD, flashes the "Setup is inspecting ..." message on top of the screen for about a second then the screen goes blank and the disk access light stays on. I gave it 30 minutes and nothngs happens. I tried to boot from older Windows XP and from a Ghost 9.0 CD. Same thing happens. Any ideas?

    BTW, the existing Windows XP installation is working fine. I was also able to boot from a 32 bit Suse Linux CD with no problems. 64 bit Linux doesn't make past setting up ACPI.
