Hello All,

I am pretty darn new at this Linux stuff.

I have successfully, in the past, installed Redhat on my system. I some how
messed up one of the CDs I have.

I have downloaded the .iso file from more than one location. I have used
more than one 'iso program. WinImage is the one that I was able to extract
the files from the iso. However, when I copy them over to the cd-rom I can
not get any of my systems to recognize it as a boot disk. Even with my BIOS
setting set to cd-rom. I can, however, us a Win Boot disk, run the rawrite
(boot.img) from the offending CD-Rom.

Even booting from the floppy gives me an error that the disk is not
recognized

What gives here?

Thank you for your help,
Fred
