Hi,

I get everything started correctly but than it says "The fedora Core CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives, please insert the Fedora Core CD and press ok to retry".

I burned the ISO onto the CD-R and thats how I booted. It all started fine....so I am not sure what is going on. The ISO disk 1 is correctly burned.

I am trying to install Fedora 4 btw.

Any help appreciated.

The same thing happened to me.

Reburn the 1st CD. This time enable the "verify written data" option on your cd burner to ensure a correct burn of the iso. It will be slower, but it will make a good copy of the iso. Also, try a faster burning speed than your drive's max.

When I tried another CD, the problem went away. So I know it was nothing to do with my computer hardware or any software configuration. Just bad disk.

I tried mediacheck but it also says that it cannot find the fedora 4 core CD. Its complaining that the CD thats inserted is not of Fedora 4 Core. So it didnt even go into the mediacheck...

I burned it twice using CD recording from Windows XP. What I dont get it - if it boots up correctly and goes into the installation - why cant it find the files for Fedora 4 Core???

I **** hate windows. I am getting rid of this piece of sh**.

I got them from:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...re/4/i386/iso/

and I clicked on

FC4-i386-disc1.iso 06-Jun-2005 22:54 635M

I downloaded it twice onto my windows machine. and burned it from there.

Fedora installation just simply sucks....fu...en piece of sh**
