Fedora On DVD
 

I downloaded Fedora Core4 Dvd iso and burnt it to a RW-DVD.

But i was surprised that the bios doesn't recognize the DVD so that mean the DVD will not auto boot from the bios.

The bios only recognize my HD, CD & Removable disk

What can i do to make the bios recognizes the DVD drive and auto boot the Fedora DVD to start the installation process???

My PC

Intel Pentium4 _2.0 Ghz
Mother Board Intel with sound on board
Ati 128Mb VGA card
HD Western Digital 200 Gega

You need to go back into your bios and change the Boot order of your drives.

Usually it's listed like this:

floppy
Hard Drive
CD-ROM

You need to change it so that it is listed this way:

CD-ROM
Hard Drive
Floppy

Once this is done you will be able to boot from any bootable CD or DVD


Peace V

good idea
 

but i still think that the problem in the bios software itself but i will try, and tell you the results

Thanks for your try

The last computer I installed FC4 on had an old DVD drive that didn't recognise DVD-Rs. I had to switch in a newer drive from another computer, install from that, and then switch back once the install was complete.

Thank you all but it worked

The bios recognized the CD-ROM as the DVD-ROM
