I have just built a new PC, but I am using an older CD ROM. It worked with the CD I used to set up the Hard Drive. I then put in Mandrake 10.0 CD1 and it starts the install, but when it tries to find the image on the drive, it fails. It keeps trying, but I see these errors: 0x51 and 0x54. It is a 7 year old Compaq CR588 drive.

I have used these ISOs to install on another machine, so I know they are good.


Is there some switch I need to set when I do the install? Should I just get a new drive? Remember, it does work, but maybe MDK doesnt like it?

Thanks.

maybe this will help.

good luck.

Thanks, but it does boot.

I got it to work by passing ide=nodma. I guess I should still get a new drive.
