Hello all and thanks in advanced for any help..... I downloaded the ISO files for Mandrake 9. Mounted the iso and copied all files to my burning software. The cd burned with no problems and all the files are there but when I try to boot from the CD to install it just passes it by and goes into regular boot mode. I have my machine set up to boot from cd first then everything else. Is there a recommended speed I should use for buning? If I can figure this out I would be glad to burn cd's for the group to help out. Please let me know if anyone else is having this problem and what was needed to fix it. Thanks, Dave Board
