I have tried that. I get the following message when I switch on


GRUB Loading stage 1.5.


Grub loading, please wait....

Error 17


I assume that the loader is waiting for the CD drive (which doesn't
exist) to kick in to complete the installation.


Can I make a partition on the hard drive to hold a copy of the CD and
get the GRUB loader to treat the partition as a CD, and then use it to
install?
