Linux with Windows2000

["Liton" <leyton@example.com>]

I finally have installed REDHAT LINUX 7 in my laptop.

I used to format my HD with NTFS which my LILO

can't seem to find but,....when I formatted my HD with

FAT32 the LILO can read it as Win95(actually Win2000)

and at the start up LILO gives me a chance to boot DOS.

Isn't it GREAT?!  I'm so happy about it.

 

Next I have another problem, I can't use my cdrom drive.

When I click cdrom icon there's a message saying:

 

mount:the kernel does not recognize /dev/cdrom as a block

devic(maybe 'insmod driver')

 

I installed RH from the cd. After I restarted the computer

with the cd in the drive I had to type

 

"linux ide2=0x180,0x386"

 

I learned it from the web don't know what this thing means.

Can someone tell how to get my cdrom drive work?
