well your dev hdb is your second cdrom drive so just put the disk in
that one or have you fixed this yet?
Well, the problem is that MDK recognises hdb as my cdrom, which is right. For some reason, depite of this recognition I cannot open the drive since I had Mandrake installed at the first time as a dual boot with win 2k. After reformatting the harddrive and reinstalling MDK from the cd burner, which went perfectly easy, I am always promted to put in the installation cds into hdb, which is the non-reacting cdrom, whenever I want to install software. The lights of the cdrom do work, so I think there cannot be a mechanical problem. I simply cannot open it any longer. When I put in the installation cds into the burnger MCC does not accept this. Is there a possibility to 'deactivate' this stupid cdrom or to change the settings so that I can install from the burner ? Thanks for your patience, --Bernhard
