thnaks for all ur help, but i thik i sovled the problem. i think it was my fault. didnt relasied whihc was sothing very simple. they way i burned my cd was that i was extraced the iso and then copyied that ni to nero, but nero has a iso burner bult in so the CD name appeared on the cd and the computer rocnsiseed each CD and CD 1 - 3 or mandrake_of. i think that it does work and everything is working, well i hope. thanks for ur help!!!!! cheers

thanks for ur help, but i have already done that in the bios setup and still nuthing happens, thanks anyways about the seqeunce.

I have done that already, and tried many different ways. but i dont know. i know i have burned the files correctly. by the way, do i need to name my cd befor i burn the cd (eg, Mandrake)

i have, burn the iso corretly and the file does not end with a .iso. i used nero to help with this. if i open the cd in windows the cd auto will enable and a welcome screen appears. i have also tried to install it not in dos mode but in window because it gave me a option in the welcom screen. but that dont owrk either.

thanks for ur reply mel. well the system i have got is a dell P4 HT 3.02 gz, 512 ddr ram, 2 hardrive (80 gig and 40 gig which is split in to two one partition is windows XP and the other is emtpy) CD rom drive, dvd r drvie, nvidi video card. i hope that helped. i have tried all of my CD's and tried to boot them. but i have created the floppy disk which allowed me to boot the cd in dos mode but a message appeared saying cannot find installtion cd. dunno y it is asking me that. thanks!
