You'll need to make the images using a windows machine with Rawrite (which is on the RH cd) or on a linux machine with dd. Something you might want to try before messing around much more is to see whether the CDs work in another computer, because it could be the CD's fault that it won't mount with caldera. I know a lot of this has already been suggested, but hey, that's exactly what I would do. Good luck. -- "Software piracy harms everyone, including you.
