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.

They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing, cause if you play it forwards, it installs Windows.
