Ixthusdan Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 What kind of computer are you using? Brand and model, or what is the motherboard? Are your devices set to "auto" in the bios for irq assignment, or have you assigned irq's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradly.lambert@gmail.com Posted June 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 1. i dont even know what an irq is. 2. emachine 3.dont know what kind of mb, is there a prog that can tell me that or do i gota open 'er up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 My guess at this point is your cdrom is faulty. Your emachine is standard intel stuff, which Mandriva was written for. So, if the iso's are ok, the next steps would be 1)Burn slower speed (10-12X) 2)Different media (name brand) 3)Your cdrom is flaky (new cdrom) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradly.lambert@gmail.com Posted June 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 1 54x32x54 2 generic media cd rom seems to do the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Just one other thing to check, in your BIOS, can you check a settings for Plug and Play OS. If it's set to OS, can this be changed to the other option, as it might be causing problems with the detection of hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 dont know what kind of mb, is there a prog that can tell me that or do i gota open 'er up? the systems/hardware section of windows should tell you what mobo you are using. in linux, you can get this information e.g. using a knoppix live-cd.

So, if the iso's are ok, the next steps would be1)Burn slower speed (10-12X) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â I agree, I'm running Mandriva oon a eMachine and it works fine, and again the slower write speeds should ensure that the images is burned correctly (e.g. I burn mine at 20x, buffer never goes below 98% and k3b gives me the thumbs up 99% of the time when I ask it to verify the cd).

arctic Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 for a bios upgrade sometimes you don't even need to access the bios directly. some updates come as a windows install file which can be run "normally" in windows. Â if you really want to access you bios, try hitting del, backspace or F2 when you power on your computer. those are the most common keys.
