Not sure I'll be able to help, but I know Mint will burn and load from a DVD cause that's how I did it. You "might" try booting in safe graphics mode and see if it lets you load that way. Like I said not sure it will help. Also might post the specs from your system it will help those who have a clue (and thats not me btw) trouble shot what's going on.

Thanks,
James

BAN,

It sounds like a bad dvd burn/download. Re download and check the md5 sum against the one on the download site before you try to burn. If you have it available, use a different brand or lot number DVD. Burn at 4X speed and do so in a RAW mode. RAW mode may be listed as DAO or TAO. This is a mode of direct binary 1 to1 copying, without any additional formatting or tagging being inserted.

After you do the burn verify the md5 sum again. If md5 sums won't verify you don't have a chance.
