[newbie] problems creating floppy installation disks
I've downloaded the three ISO images for MandrakeLinux 8.1, created CDs, and successfully installed Mandrake on a desktop PC (so i can assume that there's no problem with the CD itself) but now I want to attempt an installation on an old Compaq Amada laptop I dragged out of the closet I cannot boot from the CD (in part because I no longer have the manual for this notebook, I can't get any of the normal key commands to work to access the Setup during boot) so I'm stuck with trying to boot from floppy ... but here's what the installation instructions say: If your computer cannot boot from the CDROM and previous methods do not work, you must make a boot floppy under Windows as follows: - insert the CDROM, then open the icon My Computer, right click on the CDROM drive icon and select Open go into the dosutils directory and double-click on the rawwritewin icon insert a blank floppy in the floppy drive select D:\images\cdrom.img in the Image File field (assuming that your CDROM drive is D:, otherwise replace D: as needed) select A: in the Floppy Drive field then click on Write. To begin the installation: --- but i've tried on two different Windows machines and can neither run rawwritewin directly from the CD nor copy it to the hard drive of the notebook ... keeps telling me that it can read it, it's invalid, etc. ... (oh, and before anyone suggests it, my newly built mandrake linux box is at the office, so i can't use it this weekend to create the floppy) ... what am i doing wrong ? can anyone help? thanks in advance, kenn Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
