You have to change your BIOS boot settings for this: - press the 'delete' key during the start-up of your computer. - go for 'BIOS Features Setup' - change 'Boot Sequence', so that CDROM is first. - save to CMOS (press key F10), confirm. Your machine will reboot. Insert the CDROM while memory check. This is actually the tricky part: if your CD drive is too slow or to fast, BIOS may not find the CDs boot sector, if so, try again ;-). tom -- "The perversity of the Universe tends towards a maximum."
