FEDORA 5– install. CD1 does not boot, already configured BIOS it boot with other disk
FEDORA 5– install. CD1 does not boot, already configured BIOS it boot with other disk
Well I guess is a very stupid question but, does anyone knows how to force the FEDORA installation CDs to start booting?
I have been trying to install FEDORA 5 on a new hard drive.
I burned the 4 images, shutdown the PC, disconnected my HD, connected the new hard drive as a master, enter BIOS, set the booting option to CD first and tried to boot from the first CD, but it did not work.
I downloaded the image from "torrent.fedoraproject.org" using bittorrent (FC5-test1-src-i386.torrent).
Surfing around I found and image of a Mandriva Boot CD (same brand of CD-R), I try to boot from it and it worked so I know that is not my CDRom or the BIOS settings. I try to use this CD to start FEDORA installation but it did not work (daaa!!!)
Surfing through the files on the Mandriva boot CD I saw that there are a bunch of file names referring to boot or booting, that is not the case with the ones in the FEDORA installation CDs.
Where can I find an image of a booting CD just to start the installation and then continue with the installation? Or how do I force this CDs to boot? Can I add something to the images that will make the CD bootable?
All ideas are welcome!
(sorry for my english)
