DVD not found on starting Installation on Mandrake 10.1

haroonyousuf · 04-25-2007, 12:56 PM

I'm using Z60m IBM Notebook.
My DVD is known as Matshita DVD-RAM UJ-830Sx.

It is not detected by Mandrake 10.1 at the time of installation. Mandrake provides a list of drivers which I have selected one by one but there is no supported driver for this drive.

Kindly help me regarding this.

Thanks

What a great laptop you have there. Why that old unsupported Mandrake? There are lots of decent distros which will work fine, free to download and use.

Look at right of this very page, in Main Menu you can see Download Linux.

Thanks for your reply.
You are suggesting me to download Latest Mandrake version.
I have already Mandrake Official 10.1. As far as my knowledge is concern this is latest version.

I need the linux driver for my Matshita DVD-RAM UJ-830Sx in IBM Z60m

thanks for your quick reply

Latest is Mandriva 2007, I think. Mandrake 10.1 is about three years old now, considering rapid software and hardware development it is rather long time.
