Hello all, I am a longtime Mandrake user (~3 years) and I am getting stuck at the first step in installation. I have a Plextor 12/10/32A CDROM/CD Writer. I have been succesfully using it for about 10 months now under Mandrake 8.1/8.2. In fact, I have done OS installs on this machine using this as a CDROM drive.
However, I got my PC's motherboard and CPU changed yesterday (old: P-II 350 MHz Tyan motherboard, new: Celeron 1.8GHz, ABIT BD-711 motherboard). And I was not able to boot into Mandrake 8.2. So I decided to reinstall the OS. I have tried Mandrake 8.1, 8.2 and 9.0 Install CDs. All of them boot the machine fine and ask to press Enter to install. When I do that... it starts reading from the CD just fine, but then after a few seconds it displays the following error message in a box: "No CDROM device found" I may be off on the wording of the above error message as it is from memory. When I choose Ok on this, it asks to choose a SCSI driver. I tried all of them and none worked, as expected. I have never experienced the no cdrom error message before, so I dont know what to do... What could be wrong here? Thanks in advance, Nikunj. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com
