By "other cds", do you mean other burned cds, or regular pressed cds? I've seen some rather old CD drives (usually found on pentium and earlier computers) have problems with CD-R/CD-RW cds while working fine with regular cds. Another suggestion would be to check the block size if you are burning an iso image. ~ Jesse Meyer -- icq: 34583382 / msn: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / yim: tsunad "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." - Kurt Vonnegut Jr : Mother Night pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
RE: CD Boot Problem
sounds like the cd media you burned has an error. this can be caused by a manufacturing error on the cd. burn another cdrom and give it a try. also, try not burning at full speed. sometimes people burn disks that are rated 12x at 30x+ and will make cd's that behave like you describe.

CD Boot Problem
I am trying to install Debian on my computer. I used jigdo to get the iso. Then I burned the iso to cd. When I try to boot from the cd, the drive spins up then spins down a lot. Sometimes I get a message from the BIOS that there was a boot failure. Other times, It starts booting, but then I get a message from the software on the cd that there was an error and that I should try again. When I try to access the cd on another os, It is accessible, but it spins up and down a lot. Also when I try to small text files on the cd sometimes there is a long delay (45 sec or more).
