Innocent Devil Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 if u havin the cd images ,try to copy all the cd files to the DVD root and overwrite the repeating files then do a trial on a DVD-rw am unsure of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 if u havin the cd images ,try to copy all the cd files to the DVD root and overwrite the repeating filesWill work, provided you just obtain the ".discinfo" file from DVD.And if you're downloading the fedora DVD anyways, you might as well download fedora core 5 instead! Its got much better hardware support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappysphinx Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) Thanks again for the help so far guys.I have now downloaded the FC4 DVD and copied the entire contents to my AIO-DVD folder.i added this line if $lastKey == key[8]; then chain /ISOLINUX/ISOLINUX.BIN to my cdshell.ini file.When i boot the dvd in Virtual PC 2004 the boot menu loads fine and all options work (e.g. pressing 1 begins xp home sp2 setup) but when i press 8 to begin the Fedora Install i get the following error:ISOLINUX 3.08 2005-05-19 isolinux: Image checksum error, sorry...Boot Failed: press a key to retry...Any more help greatly appreciated.Thanks againScrappysphinxOkay, i changed the line if $lastKey == key[8]; then chain /ISOLINUX/ISOLINUX.BIN so it now reads if $lastKey == key[8]; then memdisk /isolinux/isolinux.binit now loads and comes to the following screen and just hangs Edited March 29, 2006 by scrappysphinx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappysphinx Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 Ok, i scanned through the forum and seeing other posts decided linux was too much of a problem to add to the aiodvd.Thanks for all the help anyway guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
