Other Help Topics :: It can't boot from CD-ROM
I have a Pentium II computer of 266Mhz My CD-ROM is a
CD-RW connected on IDE 1
I burnt the ISO image using Nero Burning Rom 6.x
But when I adjusted every thing on BIOS , to boot from CDROM it cannot boot anything from this CD
Can you help me?
You say the cdrom is on the IDE 1, i assume the cdrom is set as slave and the harddisk (which should be on IDE 1, is set as master?
I also assume that you set the bios so that the startup order of things is:
CDROM first
Harddisk second
Right?
also could be problems with isolinux.
try using the boot floppy if patrick's trick doesn't work.
Also there is a install from floppy method in the HOWTO section...
Not mine..the otherone is much much easier

Some motherboards require you to have the cdrom on autodetect as well as a boot device option for it to boot. Try setting it as auto in your bios.
