That probably implies that either you don't have a master boot record,
or you're using the DOS MBR and don't have any partitions marked
active in the partition table. If you don't have any other boot media
(I find having a GRUB floppy around incredibly useful), you can boot
of the Debian install CD, and type something like "rescue
root=/dev/hda1" at its boot prompt.

If your problem is lack of an active partition, you can fix this with
fdisk. If the problem is lack of an MBR, installing either LILO or
GRUB, or the MBR out of the 'mbr' package, to the disk proper
(probably /dev/hda for IDE) will do the trick; as a side benefit, none
of these really care about partitions' "active" flag (the 'mbr'
package very slightly more than the other two).

You should be able to easily find instructions for creating a boot
disk from the Linux Documentation Project ([url]http://www.tldp.org/[/url]).

Boot using the CDROM. You may have to change BIOS settings. Failing
that, use the machine you're reading this from and go hit the Debian
Installation Manual and use it to create a rescue disk using rawrite2
or dd. try booting with the resulting rescue disk.

After downloading and running set up an error message comes just before the set up is finish. It says, "This operating system is not supported. Setup will now terminate."
Then the next message says, "Your system has not been modified.

I take it you are trying to install Acrobat 6 Professional on Win98 or WinME?

Downloading what? Please give the full name (or the download page)?

Ok, what is your operating system? What this means is, what version
of Windows do you have?
