Thank you for your reply. I think the rebooting issues was caused by
Windows or a BIOS problem. I've had the system for over a month, it
has been running 24x7 serving bit torrents, constantly (while loop)
doing dd of each mount point to /dev/null all while coping files from
my media server to a local hard drive. The system never missed a beat
.... that said I still don't know how to install Linux from scratch
w/o getting the failed to set xfer message.
FYI: All Linux distro's (Fedora, Ubunto, Knoppix, ...) I've tried have
the same issue.
Thanks,
Jamie

Spontaneous reboots can be due to poor power supplies, and overheating
components, to name just a couple of common causes.
I received a rather nice graphics card, gratis, for that reason. The
fan had seized, the owner felt the cost of properly replacing the fan
wasn't worth it. So he bought a new card, and gave me the old one. I
just removed the old fan, aimed an ordinary fan at the card's heatsink,
and it works nicely. Now, the whole card is cool. Before, just the
graphics processor was cooled (and not much), the RAM, and other things,
would roast.
