Won't install how? Won't boot? Doesn't find a hard disk? Doesn't boot after finishing install? The installer crashes and gives an error? Your report is a bit vague. You will have to give more precise details about how far into the install you get and what actually goes wrong... Sorry 'bout my clumsy English. I'm just not native. However, answering your question, it simply doesn't boot. I've my option "boot from CD" activated (turned on), but the computer simply continue booting my Server 2003 system. I've tried other boot-CD's. Hiren's boot CD works perfectly, as w2k or w-XP boot disks, but when it comes to win98, fedora, redhat, debian, freeBSD, mandrake, suse or guadalinex it doesn't work. Simply as that. The computer (before the w2003 system has started) works as if there weren't any cd's (or dvd's, by the way). That's it, i don't know what more to say about it Thanks for the clarification. The only thing I can think of is that your drive is especially sensitive to media. If your 2K/2K3 CDs are factory pressed and all the others are CD-Rs or CDRWs that would explain it... Given that you are having this problem with a wide variety of CDs the problem would apppear to be with how you are burning the CDs/quality of the CDs you are using/dodgy BIOS/dodgy CD drive. Try swapping the drive into another machine or for a drive that is known to read the CDs you have burned correctly. I doubt there's anything that Fedora itself can do to rectify your problem though (although Fedora does provide the option of initially booting off other media like floppies/pxe network boot and then using CDs)... Yes, this sounds like a media problem. OK, i read it and tried it with original and with burned cd's with the same OS, all Traxdata disks burned at 16x. The result: The same. nothing changed, the original and the burned 2k,XP and 2k3 worked withour problems. Fedora, Debian, RedHat 7 and Suse 9 of Linux and Win98, Win95, WinME were totally ignored. Anyway, my Linux teacher came by and took a look. He said it was due to my BIOS choosing the OS i could install. My mainboard is an ASUS P4P800-E and it only lets you install Microsoft products, crazy not? I'm gonna try another mainboard and i'll inform you of the results |
