Hi Peter: Check if your cdrom is on the second ide interface. If it is, check if it is in the first channel If that is also ok, check it is set to master.
If cdrom is on the first ide, it must be set as slave with the jumpers at the back of it. that is , if you have a bit more info on the cd-rom, like is it ide or scsi or does it has a special interface card. How are your drives configured. Interrupts dma etc... With the given information you could even have a faulty memory module :-) Cheers Szemir On Wednesday 18 September 2002 15:12, you wrote: > I've just installed Mandrake 8.2 on a user's computer (P3 - 450 Mhz, 40 Gb > HDD) from CD-ROM without incident.
