Fedora 8 hard drive install using Fedora 6 boot cd

[saurabhlakhera]

Hi All,

I was trying to install Fedora 8 on my Dell Inspiron laptop.It has 250GB SATA hard drive.
I downloaded FC8 dvd and copied it to a FAT partition. Then I booted the system with
my FC6 installation cd. When it asked the method, I choose Hard Drive and gave it
the partition name (/dev/sda5). But it was not able to find any fedora image file.
1st I thought that its may be because of SATA hard drive, but when I tried to install
other storage device setup(it browses for drivers) was able to find the .iso file.

Did anyone else faced the same problem?

thanks

You can't mix install media from different Fedora releases. You must use a F8 boot disk to install F8.
