Very newbie question!
I am trying to install Mandrake 10. 0 on a new AMD 2600+ with a 40gb hard drive. I downloaded the. iso files 10. 0 Community and copied the. iso to the 3 disks. I put disk one into the cd and it wouldn't boot.

I put disk one into the cd and it wouldn't boot. CD 2 and 3 wouldn't boot either. What did I do wrong or need to do? Is the install disks bootable and can I format the hard drive with the install disks? Only want to run Linux on this new machine.

what are you using to burn the .iso images. and plus did you go into bios and change your bootup options to boot from the cdrom first and not the hard disk or floppy check those frist
To clarify burning to disk, in your burning software, did you choose the "burn Image" option? Not just burning the iso file to the cd.
What burning software package are you using?
Do you see the iso file on the cd when you look at it, or a list of many files/directories?
Also, you need to burn the image on a good quality cdr or cdrw, at 4X or 8X, not the top speed rated for the cdrw drive.
