[ILUG-Cochin.org] Installing Arch linux

[Sebin Jacob]

I downloaded archlinux-2009.o2-ftp-x86_64.iso and created a bootable CD. But
when trying to boot from it, I am redirected to caldera DR-DOS prompt and am
standing at A:\> drive.

I currently use a dual boot laptop with Windows XP-SP2 and Ubuntu 9.04. A
few days before, I had switched the ext3 partition to ext4 without formating
the system.

Thinking this might be some problem with the change in filesystem, I tried
it with my home PC in which Windows XP SP2 and Linux Mint 7 Gloria are the
OS's. (Installed version was Mint 6 Felicia and I had upgraded the OS, a few
days before.) Here also, the CD boots into DR-DOS.

I searched for a solution and didn't find any handy reference. May be,
something related to Grub may solve the problem. But still, I do not know
what to do.

I request you to help me with this.

regards,
Sebin
