A ha, that's clear.

It said something like CD-rom not found or something like that

Works, just got to figure out how this CD was made. It says it hasn't a good
structure and asks me to enter the paths.
Just a few more q's:
1. As i mentioned I have an IDE zip-drive, it is recognized as a IDE floppy
drive, but it looks like a driver is missing or something, because it does
not want to read it. It says it doesn't have a msdos-file format, which it
does.
2. Same message on HDA3, where some linux packages are located. Here's my
partitioning on the 3,2 GB HD
HDA1: Boot 120 MB
HDA2: Root 1 GB
HDA3: msdos-type (for now) with mail, packages and stuff like that.
Is the problem that HDA3 starts after 540 (or something around that) MB ?
