How to mount CDROM Linux
I have mounted my cdrom in linux. I can see the contents of it with "dir". I want to run the setup.exe on it. How do I do this. Typing setup.exe does nothing as it is a invalid command.

Hello
You can't access windows 2000 setup.exe in Linux OS. Like I said on my first comment.
If you want to have Windows 2000 and Ubunto, for simpler safest method, you must first install Windows 2000, after installation is done, Install the Ubunto.
Accessing the cdrom in Linux, just read my first commend carefully.
But you don't have too, since you only want the setup.exe to be access for installation.
I hope you got that...
Good Luck!

the ubuntu installer cd cannot detect the cdrom. it offers a list of cdrom types items but none work. would I need an updated ubuntu cd?
Push alt+f12 during startup, and look in the background at the "busy box" dialog. That is to say, you should be able to press alt+f12 and get more information if you catch it in time.
If you want to install Windows2000 you should reboot the machine with cd inside, so that the autorun installer starts by itself. Make sure you have left some unpartitioned space, or you'll have to destroy everything to have Windows installed
If you want to install Windows, boot from the Windows Install CD. You cannot install Windows from Linux.

Hi
Installing both OS is very simple.
Boot the windows installer in the drive.
Install first Windows(ofcourse), after installation is done;
Boot the Linux installer in the drive.
Installing Linux just read carefully the instructions and follow some basic or experts window of Linux installation.
Important thing is you know what are you doing, about the partitions in you hardisk.
Done!
Good Luck!

Please read the question. He is having trouble getting the cdrom to work.
I'd recommend trying a different cdrom with the system if you have one. Its possible the firmware is not up to date on the drive, or that the drive has simply failed in some way.
Let us know!
Thanks and regards

Woops! My bad, cross posted with another cdrom issue. My apologies! Ha! Murphy's law today I guess!
Actually I've commented how to mount and unmount.
But the truth is, [some] Linux OS installation finish without a cd/dvd drive support (after installation is done), even if you have tried a many times mounting and you wouldn't fix it because it was not.
Need to reinstall the OS.
Cheers
And in case I did it wrong, forgive me.
