I have installed the OS on one machine with no problem, but when I tried on another I get a 'Read error' when the machine reboots. I now have three hard drives that are coming up this way. I have tried to reformat the drive using DOS and still get the error. I am at a loss as to what to do next. Can you help? The only common is the CD.
