Other Help Topics :: Can't run DSL



Err... first of all: Hello and thanks for reading  :D

My Problem:
When I start my Computer, it just checks cd-rom and does NOT find anything bootable. So it steps by and starts first GRUB, then Windows.

What is Fact:
- I just downloaded and burned the .iso (burned with nero)
- Iso seems to be ok, MD5 is ok.
- Medium-Brand is ok, i juse this brand already some months and never had problems.
- Autorun functions (Windows)
- I can browse the CD (so i think, the ISO is burned correctly ;-))
- I tried already twice, once with 0.6.2 once with 0.6
- I tried also with Jollix. No Problems booting it. So I think, it is possible to boot from cd-rom ;-)

What do I ask for:

Heeeelp please
:(

Did you change your system's BIOS to boot from cdrom before hard drive?

Yes, I did  :)
You may have burned the CD but not as an ISO image?  Or, perhaps you have a corrupted burn (it may still be possible to see the CD file structure).  If you have a Linux box John posted a script somewhere which can run an MD5 check on a CD.

Try doing a search for 'nero', there may be a couple of tips from other users
