mxsnappers Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 All new drives are bootable, it is the bios controlling it, so enter your bios, and make CD-Rom the first bootable drive :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mxsnappers Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Originally posted by LonG|hOrn its been almost 3 years now that i have it Should still work, did you enable it in the BIOS? If your motherboard it older then 3-4 years, it may not support it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkyoshi Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Whether a cd is able to be boot from is controlled by the BIOS and not the cd-rom. Check your bios ;) If it's not available sometimes if there is a new bios available it will add that option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
