If the the procedure I outlined in my previous note does not work Down<br>
load a Live CD. Install it on a usb stick using unetbootin you get from<br>
<a href="http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net" target="_blank">unetbootin.sourceforge.net</a><br>
<br>
Then use the usb stick to install Fedora 17.<br>
