Now make two more drives namely d: and e: and store the contents of each CD in to these drives. Dont make any directories inside these drives to store the CD. Just directly dump it. After dumping if you open explorer you can see that the drive icons will be changed. These drives would have been given the numbers /dev/hda5 ( for D ) and /dev/hda6 ( for E ). > > Now boot Linux off the cd or floppy whatever it is. Then choose to install Linux from Hard Disk. When asked for the drive show it /dev/hda5 ( or whatever it has taken.) and the installation should start. I dont know wheather it will continue with the second CD or not. But I am sure that it will install from the first CD.
