Title: Installation of sme 7.1
Post by: lional on July 20, 2007, 08:09:05 AM

Hi
I downloaded smeserver 7.1 from your website. I downloaded the semserver 7.1 iso file. I then used nero burner and chose the make a bootable cd option and copied the iso file to the disk.
I am using a machine that was running red hat 9.0.
When I insert the disk it boots the machine but the installation will not start. It says can't find ntfs drive and exits the setup.
Am I doing everything right.

Thanks

Lional

you have simply to burn the iso, you haven't to burn the iso file into a cd..

are you sure you have burned the iso correctly?
if you insert your cd in a windows pc, what do you see?

I missed this sentence.  :lol:

You have to burn from iso (or image in nero).

Couple of things to try...

Have you checked the iso with md5sum ?
Maybe try another CDROM Drive ?

It is the first time I am trying sme, so I am pretty new at this. How does one check the iso with md5sum?

Thanks
