Your PeeCee has to be set up to boot from CD. Some can't, in which case you're SOL on that device. Many can, but the CD isn't set up in the boot device list. The BIOS setup screen is the place to go to add the CD; it needs to go before the hard disk, or it'll never be checked for a bootable CDROM in it. Getting to the BIOS setup screen can be an interesting exercise in its own right; Google for the right incantation for your manufacturer and model. A few come from the vendor or manufacturer already set to look at the CD drive before the hard disk, in which case you're in clover. And, of course, you have to use the right incantation to get the ISO image burned to a CDROM as a disk instead of as an ISO file. That may take some research on its own, if you haven't found it already. Very best of luck. -- Mike Andrews, W5EGO mi...@mikea.ath.cx Tired old sysadmin ------------------------------------ Announce your digital presence via our Interactive Sked Pages at http://www.obriensweb.com/sked Recommended digital mode software: Winwarbler, FLDIGI, DM780, or Multipsk Logging Software: DXKeeper or Ham Radio Deluxe.
