That would
depend on whether you have the CDROM drive installed on a tertiary IDE
controller (IDE2), or on a SCSI bus that you can’t normally boot from.

answer that one. yes it is configured as the primary boot device and the
hard disk is second and the floppy is third. Does the CD need any drivers
or the like to read the CD? On Thu, 2004-08-12 at 17:01, Bill Tetens wrote: No joy in mudville. Still had the files downloaded by bit torrent and I burned a new disk 1 using ISO and the orginial file. Still does not work and I get the same error message. So did you verify in the bios that the CDrom is configured as a boot device and listed ahead of the harddisk drive? zuki269@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: I think the problem has been found. I burned them as data so I will burn them as ISO files and let you know how it turns out. Knew it had to be something I done.

I put disk one in the CD and changed the boot order putting the CD Rom first. The following error message is displayed after the CD appears to be checked. Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selectefd boot device. The CD passed the checksum so I am assuming that it is OK but don't have a clue where to go now. I know something is wrong but what. Help would be more than appreciated. Thanks Welcome aboard! Most likely you need to configure your bios to boot from the CDrom drive. The next most likely problem is that when you burned the CDs you did not burn them as images. In you CD burner software there should be an option to burn the CD as an iso or image, then select the iso file you downloaded. This will burn a bootable CD. If you just burned the iso as data to the CD that will not work. My money is on the bios settings. ______________________________________________________________________ -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list |
