Hopefully someone will put me straight from a start.
Have:Dell Inspiron 8000
was: dual 7.2 / windows me
Had no problem installing and was working ok.
Decided to delete contents of 7.2 as the psrtitions were no longer in use and
install 10.2 from Feb 2007 Linux Format DVD (LXFDVD89)
Gets to the package installation step and errors
Base message: insert 20070315-094527 CD1
Detailed message: Failed to mount cd:///?devices=/dev/hdb: mount media failed
cdrom is /dev/hdb
listed as /dev/hdb cdrom,dev3:64
model "matshitadvd-ram uj-840s"
revision 1.0
driver piix_ide
checked this in loaded drivers and this driver is loaded.
the dvd worked as the dvd started from that so it shouldn't have failed
I have looked at laptop page and bugzilla and can't see anything.
I had expected modem problem as it uses a LT winmodem driver but not
a problem this early
any ideas please
thanks in advance
