Installing Redhat Linux from your hard drive usually requires three files 1Shrike-i386-disc1.iso; 2Shrike-i386-disc2.iso; 3 Shrike-i386-disc3.iso. This represents three discs needed during installation. Since it is an image file, the system cannot read directly, so you need to restore the files in ISO first.
Here is recommended to use Daemon Tool (http://www.linuxeden.com/download/winapps/daemon333.exe) software "Solution" to your hard disk. For example, SHRIKE-I386-Disc1.iso can decompress the CD1 directory of the C: disk, SHRIKE-I386-Disc2.iso is decompressed to the CD2 directory of the C: disk, SHRIKE-I386-Disc3.iso can decompress to C: The CD3 directory of the disc is available.
Next, restart the system into the MS-DOS mode. Enter the C / CD1 directory we just decompressed, there is a dosutils directory, perform a DOS batch file in which Autoboot.bat is executed, and the system will restart again. Enter Linux installation interface. At this time, the installer will prompt you to install with the disc installation or from the hard disk, select the directory where the installation file is located after you are installed from the hard disk.
It should be noted that the ISO file we just decompressed is operating in Windows. If you enter the C: / CD1 directly, the Linux installer is unrecognizable, we need to correspond to the C: / CD1 to the Linux installer can be identified. Format, so you should enter / dev / hda1 / cd1 here.

No soft drive and optical drive to install RedHAT method
0. The hardware support of the floppy drive and the optical drive can only rely on software to make up. This paper is as follows:
(1) WindowsXP has been installed in the system and guided by NTLOADER mode;
(2) Two software with VFLoppy and Explore E2FS (all green / free software);
(3) The 3 ISO files of Redhat Fedora Core 1 are in the C: / under, the C disk is FAT32 format.
1. Enter Windows, establish the following file (please use Google.com search in ISO):
(1) c: /boot/rh10/loadlin.exe
(Ie ISO1 /DOSUTILS/Loadlin.exe)
(2) C: / boot / rh10 / vmlinuz
(Ie / dosutils / autoboot / vmlinuz in ISO1)
(3) c: /boot/images/linux/bootdisk.img
(Ie /images/bootdisk.img) in ISO1
(4) C: /Boot/images/dos/bootdisk.img
(Ie the IMG file with the vfloppy.exe, or the image file of the Win98 boot disk)
(5) c: /boot/vfloppy/vfloppy.exe
(Ie the main file of VFLOPPY software)
(6) c: /boot/e2fs/explore2fs.exe
(Ie the main file of Explore E2FS software)
(7) C: /boot/e2fs/diskio2.dll
(Ie the dynamic link library of the Explore E2FS software)
2. Run vfloppy, select IMG, select 1 (3) in 1, then determine, can be generated
(1) C: /Boot/bootdisk.bin
(2) c: /boot/bootdisk.dsk
(3) C: /Boot/bootdisk.img3. Restart the machine, select "Start by the virtual start floppy disk" in the NTLoader selection menu,
Start linux installation
(1) Installation mode Select "Install from Hard Disk" and fill in the location of the hard disk ISO file;
(2) Do not create a separate / boot partition;
(3) Select the partition that GRUB is located in "/" instead of the MBR partition;
(4) Do not create a boot floppy disk.
4. The Linux will be restarted after the installation is completed. This time selects into Windows in the NTLoader selection menu.
Repeat step 2 again, just select 1 (4) in 1 when IMG, then determine, can be regenerated
(1) C: /Boot/bootdisk.bin
(2) c: /boot/bootdisk.dsk
(3) c: /boot/bootdisk.img
5. Restart the machine, select "Start by virtual start floppy disk" in NTLoader selection menu,
Enter the DOS state, then
(1) C:
(2) CD / boot / rh10
(3) Loadlin VMLinuz root = / dev / hda7
Note that HDA7 is your home partition.
The machine will automatically start to Linux, the prompt during the startup process is ignive, select Do Nothing
6. In Linux, enter the following commands, type the following command
(1) DD IF = / dev / hda7 of = / root / bootsect.rH0 BS = 512 count = 1
Note that HDA7 is your home partition.
(2) Reboot
7. Restart the machine, select Enter Windows in NTLoader selection menu
(1) Run 1 (6);
(2) Locate the Bootsect.rH0, Export to C: / of / root;
(3) Enter the Windows DOS window, run attrib--a -r -h boot.ini;
(4) Edit the C: /Boot.ini file, join a line
C: /bootsect.rH0= "redhat 10.0"
8. Restart the machine, select Enter "Redhat 10.0", complete the final configuration, start the Linux tour.
