[newbie] Mandrake Problems

[Jack]

Hi,

                  I just installed Mandrake 7.0 a few hours ago by using
my cdrom to boot the
                  installation up.

                  When I try to access any of my cds in the /mnt/cdrom,
it says it can't read the
                  disk.
                  I set the thing up properly & in the control panel it
says it's there, but won't
                  read any of the disks, not even the cd I installed
Mandrake from!
                  My floppy drive isn't working either.

                  Please help, I love this O/S so far.

                  Best Regards,
                  Jack
