[plug] Newbie: Convert win2000 to centos4

[Caleb Duggan]

When do you run into trouble with your cd? when it gets to the stage where  
it boots something? or is it booting off it and at a stage in the install?

If it's not booting it, are you able to boot off other cd's? If not,  
perhaps it's a bios setting?

I'm not quite sure what you said about rawrite but, there might be some  
minimal boot floppy images available for download.  I always have _a lot_  
of trouble finding the floppy images when on the odd occasion i need them  
in other distros. I think the image files are *.img.
