situation:

i brought a new notebook WITHOUT ANY OS
when i put win2003 booted cd the instalation doesnt starts, but starts Caldera DR-DOS 7,03
so there is written:
[DR-DOS] A:\>

am i thinking corect?
i have to create a partition and format hard disk, so i write a comand
[DR-DOS] A:\>FDISK
then create a primary DOS partition and extended partition.
then i restart my notebook
by retarting it should start instalation, but it again starts Caldera!
what i am doing wrong?
ps. there is no flopy A in notebook


What a co-incidence. Another poster had this very same problem the other DAY

You may have to change the BIOS to boot from the CD before the hard disk. USUALLY there is a graphic on the screen during boot TELLING you which key to hit for setup. (F2 is COMMON). Once in setup, change the boot order to the CD first. Save and exit. Then restart the PC.

Good luck. if there is no o/s installed you will have to format the drive and fdisk it.....msdos7.1 may cause problems on this new note book..thats if it RUNS at all?...buy a cheap cdwin98 disk......
