Please HELP! > The boot order in BIOS - CD Rom first Statistically, the most common reason for this problem is that the CD was burned incorrectly. Many people accidentally (or without understanding) will burn the .iso file to the CD as a file and not as an _image_. If you throw the CD into your Windows machine and it shows that there is one big file on it, you've made this mistake. If that's the case, you'll need to recreate the CD using the "create CD from image" feature of your burning software. How to do this is different for each software. If it turns out that this is your problem and you can't figure out how to burn the CD correctly, feel free to ask on the list -- I'm sure someone else has used your software and can give you clear instructions. If that isn't your problem, post back and we'll try to find another possible solution. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc.
