Why does the install fail with "CD Image not found"?

Recently there have been a number of customers reporting that on their new PC's the installation of Xandros has failed and the error “CD Image not found” has been returned.

This appears to be happening mostly on PC's with newer Intel based motherboards.

Recently Intel stopped including their own PATA controller on their motherboards, replacing them with either a PATA controller by J Micron and Marvell.

While we have yet to hear if there is a problem with the J Micron controllers we are aware that the current build of Xandros Desktop does not include the drivers for the Marvell controller.

Therefore Xandros has released an alternate boot image that will allow customers to install Xandros Desktop 4.x on systems with these PATA controllers.

You can find the image at:

Simply burn the image to CD by following the instructions at:

1. Boot from the alternate boot image CD.
2. When prompted, remove the alternate boot image and insert the original Xandros Installation CD and hit <enter>
