Hi,

My computer has only primaly IDE but not secondaly.
I connected  a hard drive as Master and DVD-R as Slave on IDE.
BIOS doesn't recognize IDE devices, but Windows XP that boots up from SATA
hard drive can recognize
DVD-R and can read files on the CentOS Installer Disk 1 of 4.
Is it possible to start Centos4 Installer from WindowsXP?
If possible, which file on Disk 1 should I click?
Even if they are possible, can CentOS boot up from IDE Master hard drive? I
think probably not.

Thanks in advance,
Takashi Nakamura
