I think it will work with NTFS because the setup was able to detect my NTFS partitions. Not sure though. The best way will be to try it out.

Come get Some
its not "boot.i" brother its "boot.ini"
and it is present in the Primary Partition i.e the Boot drive which is usually and always your "C" drive
to see it enable "show hidden files" from folder option or
simlpy
right click on my computer choose "Properties"
then Choose "Advanced" tab (Dont play with it thats why it is called Advanced)
click "Setting" button of "Start up and recovery"
now here you have a "Edit" button which open the "Boot.ini" file for you
Once again dont play with it untill u have proper resource to restore it (in case of #$%^ up
)
AND ONE QUESTION FOR blackperl
I CANT INSTALL FROM ISO's USING THIS METHOD
WHAT CAN BE THE PROBS (and its solu)
TRIED BOTH ON FAT/NTFS PARTITIONS(as Source) AS DIRECTED BUT TO END UP LOOSING FEW HAIRS EVERY TIME.
Though able to install after extracting all iso's in one directory and givng its path at the time of installation both on fat/ntfs drives (as Source)

@DukeNukem: At what point does the installation terminate? Does it show any message? Also are you trying to install FC5 or Suse? For FC5 installation should be a breeze, but for Suse you might have to tweak a few settings. Look at my following reply earlier

Hey! Thanks Oh Mighty Lord(blackpearl).One question ( you must be thinking what a jackass i am
)first ive created cd's of the iso's from DvD (i dont have a DvD Drive, done it from friends PC)
then ive created the iso's from cd's at my PC
named them 1,2,3,4,5
then given the 1.iso as the file name in the installation source is this method ok or iam really/literally bothering you from the very beginning. if i am then please forgive me and dont curse on me oh Mighty Lord (blackpearl)

The Mighty Lord (me) is very confused whether you have sucessfuly installed Suse/FC5, whatever, or not?? Your earlier post said that you were able to "use the beauty of Suse" and now you ask whether the method will work??
Anyway, given the benevolent nature of the Mighty Lord (me) I have decided to pardon you of the pain you have caused me.
Converting the DVD into CDs is a hell lot of work, and I m unsure whether it works or not. But given that the tutorial is now made sticky, I have little doubt of its working provided that you have followed the procedure without any mistake.
If you copied the ISOs to the root of the drive and when you were asked for the file name, you must type only the filename. NOT (hda0,0)/file1.iso. That would make the setup program to search for a folder named "(hda0,0)" on the root of the drive. If you copied it in a folder then type folder/file1.iso.
I hope by the grace of GOD and The Mighty Lord (me) you are successful this time.

Seems like the name has got to do with it. The default names of the ISOs are:
SUSE_LINUX_10_1_I386_CD1.iso
..................................CD2.iso
...etc
Try renaming the isos to these default names and see if that works.
Thanks blackpearl!!
I have just installed SUSE-10.1 in my pc without any cd. folowing your instructions.
Well I had to create the C:/boot folder.
On starting GRUB install from my winxp boot menu and selecting SUSE install the installation statrted as usual. well you have to select "back" in the first screen. select the hard disk partition where you have kept the iso-s. the folder should be specified as /SUSE/CD1.iso (assuming the folder name SUSE and the first Suse install disk as CD1). ALL other cd iso should be uniform in naming and in the same folder.
while partitioning the partition which holds the iso-s should be edited in partition screen and "dont mount partition on startup" option should be checked.
choose the necessary softwares.
and the installation statrts.
after initial reboot---
dont forget to start the installation process again.select "boot from hard disk installed" or some such option which re-starts the remaining installations etc.
I hope there should be no confusion.
thanks blankpearl again for his hard works and being the path-bearer.
PLEASE TELL ME HOW I CAN INSTALL DEBIAN-3.1 N THIS WAY.

It will probably (read as should) work for both Knoppix and Debian. The necessary files are named vmlinuz and initrd.img in both the distros.

Red hat 9 does not detect SATA so there is no way you can install it. Choose a linux distro that is based on kernel 2.6 or later because those detects SATA drive. Red hat 9 is very old, get a different one.
