i have no idea what happend, but i didn't label my disk 1 of redhat 9 installation... i know want to reinstall the OS but i can't get a bootable disk to work!!! i have disk2 and 3 but i need to re-burn the first iso. i have NERO 5 and Roxio easy cd creator 6. i've tried about 15 times and can't get the disk to boot. what do i need to do? i do have a linux boot disk, and i haven't formatted my linux drive yet.

Did you burn the CD correctly?

Also, is your BIOS set to boot from the CD-ROM before the harddrive? It isn't clear if the condition you are describing is due to a faulty CD or simply that the boot process is going straight to the harddrive rather than the CD. -- J.W.
