| 41845 | 2002-04-04 11:49:00 | OK thought I'd load a copy of Mandrake 8.2 on an old HDD to have a play with. I even read the instructions. I get to the Mandrake intall screen (f1 or enter) and get this: 'Boot failed Please change disk and press any key to continue'. I have tried with just the CD, CD and floppy, or just floppy to no avail. My boot floppy does have the correct CD drive to look for. I can't think of anything else i'm doing obviously wrong. I can even access the Mandrake F1 help screen but it will not boot any further and goes straight on to winme. Why? |
