Red hat 9 install troubles
Name: Eric_T Date: December 13, 2003 at 11:58:57 Pacific OS: Win2K, hoping for RH9 CPU/Ram: P3 933mhz/ 256mb Ram
Comment:
Basiclly i have a machine with an installation of Win2k and i am attempting to put Redhat 9 on. Of course it isn't working, the autoboot for RH9 won't load when i restart my machine.
Before you ask, i do have my CDROM at the top of my boot list.
My machine is a P3 933mhz, 256mb ram, 2 CDROM, Phoenix Bios, and 30 gig hard drive.
Any help on getting RH9 installer to load would be appreciated.

Did you just copy the ISO file onto the cd?

Don't open the iso and burn the files, use a program like nero and choose the option to burn an iso. I don't understand why, (i wish i did), but I learned this after several non-bootable cds.

It should boot... Boot off a floppy (linux), if you don't have one, the files and docs are on the first cd.

Have you tried booting from the other CDROM drive? Can you boot a windoze CD (if you have one)?
