Dear Mike, The problem is, I don't have access to the original source CD now :( So, can u suggest some way by which I can make the CD bootable ? (creating one more cd, which is bootable) (bcoz, I already have the contents..) I don't mind trying. Its worth the effort. Also, I tried burning a bootable CD in NERO, using the Floppy which I created...(to create a boot image) It booted fine, but then the installation program said that I could not find the RH CD 1 ! I would be really grateful if anyone of you could help me. regards, Arjun -----Original Message----- From: Mike A.

How do I >proceed ? You should have just copied the CD, then it would have worked (assuming no bad media or bad burn). Instead, you copied the *contents* of the CD and remastered a new ISO image. That does not provide any useful benefit, and is why it wont boot. Just copy the CD properly and it should work. Again assuming the original CD is not bad, and that your burn is successful and passes mediacheck. -- Mike A.
