attempting install using centos 6.7 x86_64 netinstall.

after 'installation method' with 'local cd/dvd' selected, famous
'disc not found' shows.

attempt eject cd with eject button fails. ejecting disc drawer with
paper clip and closing drawer, selecting 'ok' fails again with
'disc not found'.

iirc, there is a way to correct, but do not recall procedure.

Did you try to disconnect the USB device before booting the station ?
Perhaps it's detected before the SATA one.

I never had problem with this kind of workstations.

i have, and why i pulled both netinstall and live dvd.

what i went thru:

after having retried cd in sata drive and repeat of failure, i created
a usb drive on laptop.

started install from usb drive. all was well until finished assigning
partitions and oking format, 'disc not found' again. selected usb as
disk sdd9 [usb ports are sdd] and clicking format, 'disc not found'
again.

<ctrl+alt+delete>, held system at media select, burned a second cd with
netinstall iso.

inserted a netinstall cd in both drives, usb stick in usb port.

1st attempt was from sata cd drive failed with 'disc not found', tried
selecting cd drive, failed. tried selecting usb cd drive, failed. tried
selecting usb stick, failed as above.

2nd attempt was from usb cd drive, failed. tried selecting sata drive,
failed. tried selecting usb drive, failed. tried selecting usb stick,
failed.

3rd attempt was from usb stick, failed as above. when thru all selecting
from all as above, failed.

<ctrl+alt+delete>, held system at media select, burned a dvd with
live dvd iso. when i pulled netinstall iso, i also pulled live dvd,
just to have if needed. cyoa. :-D

put live dvd in sata cd drive, selected install from boot menu, so i
now have 6.6 on desktop.

i do not consider such as solving problem, but it was a solution. ((GBWG))

thank you for your replying.

true, i did not say how i created cd's.

i used k3b as it is easier, less to remember, than using command line.

usb's sticks were created using unetbootin and fedora-liveusb-creator.
yes, i did not mention that i tried with 2 usb sticks. failure was
same, did not feel it mattered. failure is failure.

so you are saying that netinstall is incorrectly written because it ask
for a cd and not an internet connection? i would think that the dev's
would have corrected the wording being that netinstall has been a part
of last 2 or 3 versions.

'selection on default'? do not recall seeing anything related to such.
