did you set your bios to boot from the cdrom?
The process should work like this:
set BIOS to boot from cdrom drive
Put mandrake cd 1 in cdrom drive
reboot machine
mandrake starts the install process
If it isn't working then you've either got a really old cdrom drive, an asus
atapi cdrom drive, an old bios that doesn't support booting from cdrom or a
bad cd. Start with the bios setting, then check the cdrom, can you boot
anything off of it? win98/95? Is it only the mandrake cd that won't boot?
If that is the case then you've probably got a bad cd or an old cdrom drive
that doesn't like to read burned disks.
Hope this helps. If you want to stick in there we can probably get this
working with you.
