can't install fedora 7 in hp/compaq 6510b
dear friends,
i have a compaq 6510b with windows xp installed. i'd like to install in it fedora 7 so that i can have a dual boot system. but when i installed it, i got stuck up in the Installation Method that asks what type of media contains the packages to be installed? it has the following choices; local cd rom, hard drive, NFS directory, FTP & HTTP. i chose local cd rom because the installer is in it. but when i hit ok for cdrom it says no driver found with the following message; unable to find any drives of the type needed for this installation type. would you like to manually select your driver or use a driver disk? i selected a driver from compaq as set in the choices but nothing happened.
i also tried mandriva installer but the same happened. but when i loaded the knoppix live in the cdrom it kicks. is the hardisk protcted against linux?
thank you for any help on this matter.
