Im a little bit of a Linux newbie, so I think I've come to the right place. Anyways, right now I'm running Windows XP Pro and want to dual boot Red Hat 9. I was told with Red Hat 9, you don't need to make a boot disk/CD, but just boot from CD-ROM and have Red Hat 9 CD in the drive while its booting.
I've done this, and it just boots straight to Windows.
Am I doing something wrong? Can anyone confirm or deny this information about the Red Hat 9 Install CD?
Hmm not what i can think of.. i just downloaded the iso files and burned them with nero and it worked fine for me..
so i have no idea what you can try and do before burning the iso's again..
sorry i couldn't help
I remember having this problem, it was really wierd then I burnt the "boot.iso" image to a disc, and used that. Later I found the redhat disc booted, odd.........
If the md5 checksum is ok, you might want to try creating a boot diskette and then selecting cd install. Information on how to make a boot disk is here:
