no offense, but for some reason i had the whole history of the discussion in the mail. my problem is very detailed in this history.
i installed mandrake 9.1 with 2 hds on primary and 2 burners on secondary ide. what i want to do is exchange one of the cdroms with a new ide hd. which is formated. and all the "normal" procedures don't work. which is why i'm turning to you people in desparation.
