Hi,
Yes the inability to boot from CD is probably caused by improper burning
of the CD. I could not burn the ISO files directly, I had to extract the
files and directories and then burn them. That caused the loss of boot
sectors. But I got over that by booting from the floppy instead. The
install process went fine until the stage in which it could not find the
hdlists file. When I checked the CD1 the file was on the CD1 at
"D:\media\media_info\hdlists". What could be wrong and how can I go
round it?
Thanx, Ayoub

Just making a few assumptions, sounds like you didn't burn the ISOs
right. I can't remember what I used but you can google "burn ISO" and it
should return something (w\o ""'s.)

Hi,
I torrented down the three free Mandriva 2006 CDs. The system would
not install from CD1 so I and made an install floppy and attempted to
use it to install from CD1. I got to the point to when it tried to
install packages but it came back with the message that the hdlists
file was missing.
I inspected the CD1 and found that the hdlists file existed in the
following directory "D:\media\media_info\hdlists"
What could be the problem and how can I go round it?
Thanx,
Ayoub
