SO USERS DON'T HAVE TO HASSLE THEMSELVES SEEKING FOR A SOLUTION, below is a resolution for those receiving the SAM Multimedia Error. Hope this helps. Enjoy! =)

Issue: The pre-installation hangs on a SAM Multimedia Read Error and you get a message like this one:

SAM Multimedia: read or write failed, SENSE_KEY = 0x04, ASC =0x08, ASCQ=0x03

Sollution: This is caused by a bad dvd or the way it has been burned. Try to reburn the image with a different program (WinIso) and at a lower speed (try using 2x or 4x ).

buddy this message is not only for a bad dvd , the disk controller as well, or a bad bios settings, or a bad selection of dvd/hd jumpers, or if you are using both ide channels, or a problem with acpi and bios version....
