Hmmmm .... didn't your last post on this topic help you out? http://www.linuxnewbie.org/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=023429

As for Installing Win2K Pro from within Mandrake - You could perhaps do that in a virtual machine like VMWare Workstation (not VMWare Express). It would *never* be quite like a 'native' install since you won't get support for hardware in VMWare that Linux don't support.

Well, Linux is not supposed to 'recognize it' as such. You have to tell BIOS to boot from CDROM first, and then boot the machine with the CD.
If your BIOS won't let you boot from a CD, you have to make a bootfloppy from the 'boot.img' in the /images directory on the CD.
