Guys, it sounds like he is booting fine from cd one and getting the "press enter to install or upgrade mandrake linux" screen.
I wonder if it's not going any further because of a hardware incompatibility??? Motherboard or vid card perhaps?
ali tig - it might be worth searching the net to double check all your hardware is linux compatible. Posting a list of your components here could help you too. I'm no hardware compatibility expert myself though, I can only vouch for the bits that are running in my computer.
Hope this helps, Aidan.
