    vanpoppel,


    Most likely you will have to set the bios to "Boot from CD".



    See the instructions here

    vanpoppel,


    Which procedure are you using ?


    "Changing Boot Sequence for the Current Boot"


    or


    "Changing Boot Sequence for Future Boots"

    Warren,

    i can not find the option "Changing Boot Sequences for Current / Future Boot.

    i tried the path   reboot >>  F12  >> 5. System Setup >> Boot Sequence  >> 1CD-ROM & 2.Harddisk    enabeled.

    Warren ,

    problem solved ;

    my neighbour just came home .

    we booted from the dvd-drive instead of the cd-rom drive.

     

    a few days ago , the first time we tried to boot , in the "Boot Sequence"  the "CD-ROM in Device"  stood not on number 1 .

    after we put the "CD-ROM in Device" on number 1. we automaticly understood that we should boot from the CD-ROM drive.

     

    thanks a lot for your thinking , about the problem , with me and i hope that others ,who encounter the same problem can do something with this postings.

    up to the next problem ;-)  in "audio".

    greets , jan
