I wud recommend using VMWARE coz I too had problems with parallels! Its quite complicated to use. It wudn't boot even when I inserted the live cd of knoppix, then forget about the 1st iso image of fedora! Neways did u mount the 1st iso image ?

@mediator: yup tried VMWARE, virtualbox,... even then i got da same error!!!

to my amazement... i burned it onto a dvd and tried booting from it... i got the same error mesg!!!
please help me wid this.. i wasted nearly 2.5 days downloading this iso!!!

Did u burn the image to cd/dvd or just copied the image "file" to cd/dvd?

 

[sam_1710]

burned it using nero's "Burn image to dvd" option ..

Hmm..u did right! I think the iso image is not ok then. Did u try any other distro iso? Did u download the i386 iso?

 

[sam_1710]

yup... first i had downloaded the x86_64 version(wasted 3 days for that) and tried booting from that and i got an error "CPU doesn't support long mode. Please use 32 bit edition."
then i dowloaded this i386 version(wasted another 3 days for that!! )!!
other distros work fine... suse 10.1, ubuntu 6.06, DSL work fine!!

hmmm...dats bad! then i guess that iso is corrupt! Try dlding the cd isos this time if u have a lil bit more patience left. Dld the first iso n check that. if it works fine then its the dvd iso that was faulty.

 

[sam_1710]

oh man... dats a real pain in the a$$ !!!
hmmm.... any mags givin out FC6?? ... or anyone givin out dvds??

 

[mediator]

It happens, I too got faulty isos plenty of times. Neways not sure but LFU or pc world/quest magazine gave FC6! Also try ur firends/linux users!

 

[sam_1710]

aaah... none of ma frens use FC6... all r bent towards suse !!
and.. do yo kno which month of PC world gave FC6??

 

[mediator]

If I'm correct then FC6 released 2 months ago, then u can look in previous 2 months magzines or u can ask anyone here who is living in ur area! There's a thread for that here to request the distros!

 

[sam_1710]

ohk.... thanks for taking pain to answer my questions!!

Or, you can try downloading the ISO again via torrents, it will download only the corrupted parts and fix your ISO
