I have a WinBook Laptop computer and I am trying to figure out how to
install Mandrake RH6.0.
I can not get the computer to recognize the CD-ROM drive.
Here is what is going on...
1. I insert the removable floppy drive and boot from the boot disk.
2. When I get to the point where it asks me to pick which cd-rom drive
to use, I remove the floppy drive and insert the cd-rom drive with the
CD #1 in it.
3. I went through the entire list for CD-ROM drivers and it can not
find the cd-rom.
4. It is not SCSI.
I have an external CD-ROM drive as well that hooks up to the parallel
port as well. I tried it and it can not be found. The CD-ROM is a
"Backpack".
I tried Fdisk the hard drive and copied the 9 files from the boot disk
to it to see if it may be a problem from swapping the CD-Rom with the
Floppy drive. I can not get it to boot from the hard drive. I fdisked
the hard drive using DOS 6.0 fdisk utility and formatted it. I copied
the boot disk to the hard drive and it would not boot from the hard
drive.
I just need to install Apache web server and X-Windows so I can show off
a working copy of my web site when I am on the road.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
