I'm trying to install mandrake 10.1 however after USB detection it reports an error telling me It can't access the Mandrake installation disc. The computer is an Athlon 850 with 256mb ram, 20gb hard drive and a brand new BTC DVD rom on second IDE channel as a master. This last bit is irrelevant as I have tried it with other CD drives and also as a slave on the primary IDE channel. The iso's were downloaded from sunsite.org and their md5 signatures verified. The media is good quality and burnt as low as 2 speed. Looking at the log it reports 'mounting /dev/hdc on sysroot/tmp/image as type iso9660', then 'mount failed: no such device or address'
So whats the problem? Does the hard drive require a particular file structure before installation?
All help much appreciated
