Check BIOS boot order to make sure it checks cd drive first. Try another bootable disk in system. I've seen lockups in booting off install disc, but the only situations in which a system would fail to attempt to boot off of it is when either media or drive is bad. If all else fails I believe there is a process to boot from flash drive and install via that method. -- Adam Vandemore Systems Administrator IMED Mobility (605) 498-1610
