It seems that it must be the cd that is bad. The Dell has an option to hit F12 to manually decide bootmedia. But even if I choose the cd nothing happens. It works with other bootable cd's without problem. I have never done a bootable cd before and now I am not sure if I do right.
What emulation shall I have? None or harddrive? I have done both but same result I have burnt both with Nero And Easy CD creator. Lot of wasted cd's. :-)) Thankful for all help!!!

The key combination you are looking for is <ctrl><alt><f8> which allows you to manually specify boot media during POST before the OS starts loading. Be quick, 'cause these things boot fast. hth -----Original Message----- From: Cory Andrews [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2005 2:37 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk installation Try going into the BIOS and changing the boot order so your CD-Rom drive is first in the boot sequence. Make sure your IDE cable on the CDRom is not loose, and make sure it is jumpered properly as a slave on your primary IDE BUS, or master on your secondary IDE BUS. When you reboot, you should at least see the led light up on the CD-Rom and it should spin up, if it's doing both those things and still not booting, you probably have a bad CD, or a defective ROM Drive.
