My computer was put together at the store.  I don't know what companies made
its parts.  An assembly program I copied from a book told me that the
processor is genuine intel.

It does not have a drive sled.  It has one hard drive, and I've try my
installs with either images in a partition on that drive or from CD's.  All
the images I used for these attempts passed the sha1sum test without any
warnings, and almost all the CD's burned from many of them passed both that
and the media check that kicks in early in the installation process.

I hope I've addressed what you're looking for.
