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?

Regards, Eric
