I now have the iso images for redhat linux, but im having trouble installing
it. can anyone help. when i extract the files to cd i am not able to boot
from the CD.

And when i boot from a floppy i get up to "The Redhat Linux CD was not found
in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the Red hat linux CD and press
ok"


But the cd is in! I tried extract all the files to the cd and also I tried
just burning the straight IMG file to the CD and it still gives the same
error.

can anyone help?
What command did you use to burn the CDs? Just copying an ISO to a CD
won't give you a bootable CD. For CD ISOs I use cdrecord from the command
line, for DVD ISOs I use growisofs.

i am trying to dual boot between windows and linux on a box that does not
have unix on it. i dont think i can use those commands.

Im using iso buster to extract the file and then burning them to cd


And to add my 2 cents, there is a command line powertoy you can download for free from MS. I believe it's called isoburn. Google. Also, any commercial CD burinig software like Nero, Roxio, etc will burn an iso image.
