I had the same problem with an older machine. Couple of things you can try: Burn the CD at a lower speed. I have been told that CDs burned at higher speeds can be unreadable under certain circumstances. If you cannot get it to recognize the CD after that, you can do what I did, and yes it will take awhile, but create a boot floppy for a network install, and install the whole shebang off the net. Bravo on trying the boot floppy though, did you get that from the Mandrake site? -- Joehill Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: http://nodex.sytes.net 13:03:22 up 13:43, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
