Mandrake 10 Install on Compaq Pres. HELP! LOL
 

Ok, pop CD1 in, tells me to select an install method, select CDROM Drive.... After that a little box pops up and tells me CD ROM wasn't detected and to insert additional drivers floppy, so Ok, I do some reading and RawWrite cdrom.img to a floppy in my A:.. ok, cool..

So thinking its going to work, I pop in the floppy w/ cdrom on it, and click OK for the "Insert Additional Drivers Floppy", another ERROR!

"Floppy is not a Linux ext2 floppy in first floppy drive."


I have no idea what to do now, I've re'written the floppy about 20 times I'd guess... doesnt work... but when I put it in my Windows box, it reads everything on the floppy just fine.........

What is Wrong?

PLEASE HELP!!! lol, I want to get this done, I need a Linux comp for school....
