It tries to boot off of the disc, then boots up off the hard drive

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.

Well if its not autobooting are you sure you burned your disk properly or that your BIOS automatically boots on CD over HD. Sounds like a bad ISO, disk or burn to me. But could be wrong.
