zivan56 Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Any CD-ROM drive is bootable, I have one from 1991 and it is bootable in my old computer. You can capture the bios picture using VMWare, Phoenix Bios is evil :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazydesert Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 if this were my situation, i'd do some basic troubleshooting go to another computer. try to boot to the cd from there. if it works then you know your cd is bootable and the problem is with the drive. likewise, find a cd that is verified to be bootable and try it in your cd drive. if it works, then you know the problem is with your disc and not the drive. let us know how it turns out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 i am thinking that one of the jumpers on either of the CD-ROMs are not set right (in DOS is where it really matters) and thats whats causing the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
