I cannot install Redhat 9 from the .iso's. Here's what I have tried so far:
1. Downloaded iso's from mirror. All three of the i386 iso's
2. Extracted them using WinRar
3. Copied the extraction to my CDRW drive and then burned them using the built-in software in Windows XP.
4. Set BIOS to boot from CD
5. Rebooted with CD 1 in the drive. Nothing booted to Linux/DOS splash screen.
6. Checked the web. Someone said that the disks need to be burned using Easy Cd Creator. Thought what a load since XP's software is based on Roxio's engine, but whatever. Downloaded Easy CD Creator and burned another three cds. Same results.
7. My professor at school said to uninstall Redhat 7. Did not want to reformat to do this so I used Partition Magic to delete the Linux partition. Bad idea since GRUB was written to the MBR. Had to reformat anyways.
8. Tried disks again. Nothing.
9. Reinstalled XP with NTFS (probably will run into problems later with that one.) Since I could not get past the GRUB loader.
10. Redownloaded the iso's from yet another mirror. Have not done anything with them yet since I do not want to waste yet another three cd's.
SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME IN PLAIN ENGLISH PLEASE
