The F7 DVD can be run in the Rescue Mode. Since you loaded the F7 first 
time with this DVD it should work. Strange problem you have. When you 
put the DVD back in your laptop plaese boot up in the rescue mode and 
when it ask's you to test the DVD do it, if you have not already done 
so. Then when it comes up to a prompt, type top. It should tell you how 
much Ram you have and that should be more than 500 KB.

If you have a good DVD and enough RAM, F7 should load well.
