Hi Gene! The ISO file is a bootable dick. It does not require an OS.
Once the disk has booted it will let you "play" with the Mint desktop. It also places an "Install Linux Mint" icon on the desktop. Clicking on that icon warns you that a new partition will be made and all data on the HDD will be lost.
It then overwrites the existing OS (if there is one) and all data while it installs a fresh copy on Mint.

The system has no OS at this time so running the CD in Windows is not an option. It has installed correctly on 2 other computers and just in case I built a new ISO and it locked up the same way.
Hmm. I didn't know Linux could be installed in
a setup with no OS. Is that a source of problems?
Does it require a different kind of distro? OK for
working with CD and for USB?
