Hi Ralf!
After using FDISK (with described problems) and rebooting and then using FORMAT, you say you were unable to run the FDIMPLES tool to install further: Your A: (and B: as mirror) were the virtual boot floppy, C: etc. were the harddisk, as far as formatted, F: was a mostly empty RAMDISK: To me this sounds as if the CD/DVD driver has failed to load for you. This leads to the question: Has it worked at any earlier point? Or were FDISK and FORMAT etc. all part of the boot "floppy"? I guess it would help if the installer checks if it can access the CD and if not, warns people to expect trouble later in the process. As long as you boot from the virtual floppy, it would be expected that the El Torito style CD/DVD driver still works, but may require some boot menu choices to be activated?
