Ok, so I formated a partition of my second HDD [A total of three partitions
on two HDDs] into FAT32, and then transferred both the original .iso and the
directory extracted from it [which i renamed FedoraDVD] onto this partition

Now, during installation it identifies that I have four partitions
/dev/
hda1
hdb1
hdb2
hdb5

But can't seem to find the CD image on any of them... now what is going
wrong this time?
