    Is there any chance the V6 lite .iso images are corrupted? I've download the last four builds of V6 Lite and they all four fail to install. When I boot from the CD and choose to do a software install they all four builds seem to get around 77% - 80% complete and then it fails with a blue box stating simply "Installation Unsuccessful". I have tried this on my years old DSS box, with three different IDE hard drives. The drives were all checked for errors using manufacture's utility and the drives test fine. The DSS memory checker passes without issue. After days of swapping cables and drives around I bought a newish Dell Optiplex 780 with four gig of RAM and dual core duo. Same thing, all four V6 lite copies fail to install, but V7 installed. The .iso files were burned with ImgBurn using verify after write, without issues. After the "unsuccessful" message you are given the "Back" option and when I do and start to install again, the installer jumps right to 77% and fails. Western Digital hard drives 4, 40 and 120 gig all pass every test given to them.

    Use DSS V7 SOHO version:

    Will there be any issues involved with taking the four port SATA PCI card out of the old DSS box, running 32big DSS 6, and moving those four SATA drives (SW RAID) over to the new 64bit V7 box? Will the 64 bit kernel handle the older 32 bit volume structures?

    Sure wish I could edit my posts, forgot this: The old DSS hardware won't boot V7 due to minimum specs, hence my trying last four builds and swapping parts all around. Part of the reasoning in buying the newer Optiplex 780 is that it still has a PCI connector so I could possibly move that SiI RAID card with four SATA drives over to it, and hopefully DSS 7 will just see the old DSS 6 SW RAID.

    DSS V7 would see if it were created in 64 bit mode.
