check your cdrom and make the PIN are default to 4 & 2 which makes cdrom a target 6, i.e. sd6,0

reboot machine

before it comes up normally

do a [ STOP A ] check your keyboard... it's on there

the type [ set-defaults ] and hit the enter/return key

now type [ boot cdrom ] a hit enter/return kry

[ ]= what function/type on KB
 
Hi,

Did you check BIOS boot sequence? Check it if the first boot device is is F: or whatever your CD drive letter is?
