install problem
 

Hello Friends,
After the long time i again feel need to install fedora.
I have one o.s and would like to add fedora because i have formatted to my pc.Now, again i would like to setup fedora.

But it gives error when i skip testing after boot from dvd it says;

.....
....system abnormally exibited
.......
.........
you may safely reboot your system.

what should i do ?

Thanks.

your cd maybe having errors.

check it first

If there are no errors boot it in safe mode

YOU havent described existing os


BY the way check the cd i.e allow cd scanning
then again error comes,change the cd .fedora 7 is most stable n fedora 9 has classic 3d desktop ,worth to install n use.

Thanks for your comments,
Actually i can't change to my fedora cd because i haven't anymore
from web how i can install and setup i think its difficult to make a fedora dvd.

I am waiting your suggestions.

Beside,
My Operating system is Windows XP Professional.
I have
160 GB HDD
2 GB RAM

I mean is your hard disk SATA or IDE .
Whatever Fedora 9 will work on both of them.
Please give details about your partitions you created on hard disk.

Also try another installation cd of fedora . It might be installation media error.

Go to fedoraproject.org and Download. You need to write it to DVD using Nero or something like that *using the raw option*. In this option you will have .ISO in the drop down list. DONT write the ISO file to disc eg. by dropping the ISO file into the stuff-to-be-written window, you will waste the disc.

if you do not have much experience fedora / linux i would not install fedora 9 ( the first update will fix most things )
some hardware may fail to work ( network mostly )
i would burn fedora 8 dvd and install it . Then with some exp. under your belt ( 6 mo. ) install 9
but then again you might not have a single problem with 9

for emergency's i use InfraRecorder cd/dvd recorder on win xp
http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/
it is easy to use ( cygwin1.dll included)
