I'm trying to install Mandrake 10 on an old blank 6GB hard drive, i'm booting off the CD-ROM, but as the installer starts, I get a message, something like "No CDROM device found" and from then on I can't do anything, it asks me to select a driver but i have no luck. Is there any way around this?

Cheers,

Is the CDrom enabled in the BIOS?
