Thanks for your advice. Here are answers to some of your questions and what I did.
I made my original bootable DVD using Free Easy Burner.
I erased the HDD with DBAN.
I ran WinMD5 on the download file and it was OK. I assume this is the same as Checksum suggested by newtusmaximus.
I made a new bootable disk using the method described in bitsnpcs's reply. It worked.
I set the BIOS to the factory default and ensured the date and time were correct as recommended by trinidad.
I installed LinuxLite on the HDD and all is working well.
The next challenge is to get my old Canoscan 4400f scanner working in LL.
Thanks again for your help.
