Paxx Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Hi... Im trying to boot from a boot disk. to give some info about what im doing... Disk drive is A, Primary HD is C, and Secondary is D. So all my files for the install are located on D:\cooker\i586 I want to install onto my seconday drive (D) so.. im doing a harddrive install, incase you havent picked that up. so in my menu.lst i have: timeout 0 default 0 title Mandrake Install root (hd1,0) kernel //isolinux/alt0/vmlinuz ramdisk_size=128000 root=/dev/ram3 acpi=ht vga=788 automatic=method:disk,partition=hdb1,directory=/ initrd //isolinux/alt0/all.rdz but when i boot, hold down CTRL, and say boot from A: it just loads windows. Im guessing somewhere in my menu.lst i've put the wrong directory, but where?? Thanks in adv. Paxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
