[Solved] RAW EDID and Bad Target Number Messages

Hello,

I've been a long time Ubuntu user, and have been looking to make the move to Arch.  I downloaded the iso, verified it, burned it to a dvd, and verified the dvd. However, when I boot to the dvd and launch setup, I get a few messages (Bad Target Number and RAW EDID).  I uploaded a video of boot to YouTube.  If I continue the installation of Arch, will everything be okay?  Also, what do these errors mean?

Also I was wondering how easy it is to overwrite my Ubuntu partition with Arch in order to avoid having to repartition everything.

Here's the boot video :

Thanks for any help smile

Fixed it.  In case anyone stumbles upon this - in arch bootloader, hit tab, add the parameter nomodeset to the end of the string
