I finally got 7.3 to work and now understand what is meant by "stonage" 
even though its 18 months (or so) old. 7.3 is definitely more "quirky"

Got it working at last, apparently the message above is related to 
advanced power management. if its turned off in the bios, the install 
process works as normal. still, I think I may en up re-upgrading anyhow

cheers for the help  in the meantime,
