I downloaded and burned the iso to a dvd r, everything showed successfull.

After booting up the disc, I see the KALI LINUX menu, I select > Live (amd64)
I see alot of scrolling text, however this then gets stuck at

[31.955118] ata2: SError: { RecovData RecovComm UnrecovData Persist Proto HostInt PHYRdyChg PHYInt CommWake 10B8B Dispar BadCRC Handshk LinkSeq TrStaTrns UnrecFIS DevExch }

[31.955493] ata2.00: status: { DRDY }
[31.955574] ata2: hard resetting link

I have tried to


Remove the mouse from USB
Unplug internal spinning platter harddisks
remove all other unnecessary devices from machine
booted to > Live (amd64 failsafe)


Would appreciate any help here offered.

Thanks

Are you sure you have a amd64 system?

It looks like a bad copy to me, try re-installing it on the USB?

What software did you use? Unetbooting is a good one.

That error is normally caused by your cdrom drive.

Make a live usb and disconnect the cdrom drive.
