My first tought was that nero messed up with the image (I recall the installer, in vmWare, showing me that there were 2 tracks on the CD ROM, wich was the iso. and nero only wrote one track from that same iso) so i wasted another media burning the .iso with alchool120%. but i've got the same results.
