i just purchased a magazine solely for the purpose of obtaining Mandrake 10 as it was on the cover (in the form of a dvd) when i try to install mandrake (its a bootable DVD) the initial mandrake screen comes up verifies my USB controller(s) and then proceeds to identify my CD drive correctly whilst saying something to the effect of "looking for mandrake image on cd", then another screen pops up and says "looking for a CD drive" obviously its not on a CD but on a DVD, and my dvd drive is busy so it is defintely detecting it, the magazine claims that its a bootable DVD (which it is) and then everything is fine, whats going wrong?
i then went back into windows and 'explored' the cd and read something about some people have problems booting from CD so i proceeded tomake a boot disk, still the same thing happened, also whilst i was there i looked and can verify that the correct 'file structure tree' is in place
also when i open the file up in windows theres a few options one being install mandrake, when you click it it proceeds to restart the machine and attempt to install
ive had experiences with Redhat 9, which i paid for and will boot from the CD (its not a DVD like mandrake), but cant understand what the problem is, any insight would be great.
