RE: [newbie] RE: [Toshiba CDROM XM6102B
Hello, I am trying to install Mandrake 7.2 in an old Pentium 200 MMX with a Toshiba CDROM XM6102B, but the installer doesn't recognized this CDROM model; it gives me question about if it is an IDE or SCSI CDROM, and doesn't recognized it as IDE, but it seems that there is not any special module for this old CDROM. On my box I observed the following behavior: If the cd LED was solid while booting, MD 7.1 would never see the CDROM during install. If I popped the tray after it went solid but before the IDE detection it worked fine everytime. It still happens occasionally after install on boot, if I simply pop it out then I can mount cd's just fine. Not sure what causes it, hope this helps.

One option is to copy the contents of the CD onto your windows partition and then boot an install floppy, hit F1 for options and do linux all which will allow you to choose your installation medium of choice which in your case is a local FAT (windows) HDD partition [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 13/11/2000 13:00:12 Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: [newbie] RE: [Toshiba CDROM XM6102B Hello, I am trying to install Mandrake 7.2 in an old Pentium 200 MMX with a Toshiba CDROM XM6102B, but the installer doesn't recognized this CDROM model; it gives me question about if it is an IDE or SCSI CDROM, and doesn't recognized it as IDE, but it seems that there is not any special module for this old CDROM.
