I'm trying to follow your documentation and keep failing the install. I have an HP COmpaq desktop dc5100 MT and it will NOT detect my iso image for the i386. i did not see it in your hardware list.htm. does that mean it's not supported or do i need new drivers? if i put it in an older ibm, the cd works. i also tried using your floppy method and that failed as well. it said no boot/loader. this box has xp loaded it already. any help would be greatly appreciated. ~Eileen __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
