I recently purchased Red Hat 9.0. Before i load the first disk i go to the BIOS and change the setting so the CD-ROM loads first then my CD-RW then my floppy, and last my 2 hard drives. I'm trying to install Red Hat to my second hard drive since in the first one i already have Windows XP. I put the first installation disk into the CD-ROM drive since its the one that is loading first. When i put in the first CD everything goes fine. When its doing the probe to check my system it finds my hard drives, floppy, CD-ROM and CD-RW. I choose to install the personal desktop option then i also add some more packages to the install. When Red Hat is installing from the first installation CD everything is going fine, then after it installs some of the packages from first disk the CD comes out and it prompts for the second installation CD. When i put the second installation Cd i keep getting an error message saying that is not the correct Red Hat 9.0 CD-ROM. I've already done a media check and the ISO images are fine, all three CD pass the test. I have Red Hat 7.2 that i got from my college installed in my second hard drive, i have no problem installing that one. Since i want to install Red Hat 9.0 i want to start a fresh installation and delete 7.2 partitions. I don't know if its my CD-ROM drive or the or the second installation CD that is defective. I've tried installing from my CD-RW but i does the same thing. If any one here has an idea of what the problem help would be great.

Proceed with your installation starting with the first CD exactly the way you did before. But this time when it gives an error message, place your cd in the CDRW. I think this should solve your problem

good luck
