No! The laptop has a new, unformatted hard drive because the old one is
dead. When I picked up my laptop after the brain transplant (I don't do
hardware. Ever.) I used my desktop to create the drive off of an .iso
that I downloaded from the Fedora Project, and the download passed the
checksum test. And,if I try to boot off of that drive on my desktop, it
fails in the exact same way. Add to that the fact that the flash drive
is new, and you've got the idea.
