Comments/Problems:
1st boot priority in BIOS is set to CD ROM. The CD
ROM actually loads the debian CD.
At "Choose a language:" I pick "English".
At "Choose country or region" I pick "United States".
At "Keymap to use:" I pick "American English".
Then it says "Detecting hardware to find CD-ROM
drives".
Then the following screen:
[!!] Detect and mount CD-ROM
Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. This
probably means
that the CD-ROM was not in the drive. If so you can
insert it and try
again.
Try again to mount the CD-ROM?
<Yes>
<No>
Selecting Yes leads me back to this same screen.
Why can't linux mount my CD-ROM? It was able to load
the CD-ROM contents up to this point, so I don't
understand.
Please help!!! I don't want to go back to Windows!
