Hard Drive Install


im installing redhat 9 on a pc with no OS, all I have is a hd with 3 .iso images to do the install. I have downloaded a redhat installation boot and choose to install from hd when I point to the images i get this error?

no red hat images found on hd1/dev5?

can someone tell me why this is happening or a way to install an iso image

thanks

Are you using the correct partition?
Are the files in a directory or just in d:\?
If in a directory provide the complete path.


BTW the install can not read from a NTFS drive.

sinnamingrrl; ur error message states no image of rh found on hd , so there maybe something missing; those iso may have to be copied on to partition along with lilo/or grub but not both. 1st
from boot floppy/cd then copy iso to hd in partition after bootlilo/grub. ? can u read the iso running without install to view the howto docs for help.

You will not be able to read the iso from an NTFS partition. Hard drive installations only work from ext2, ext3, or FAT file systems. Take a look at the Installing from a Hard Drive section from the Red Hat 9 installation guide. The way you specified the partition that your iso's are on is also suspect. Your partition should read something like /dev/hda# (if you have IDE drives) where # is the number of the partition. For example, /dev/hda1 would be the first partition on hard drive a, the first hard drive. The hd1/dev specification will not make sense to Linux.
