Hi Clive,
So the DVD is a good one so why does it not work on the laptop, which
it the same drive it was burned on?
Only thing I can think of, given the DVD starts OK and you get the menu
offering Mint to boot, is to edit its kernel command line and remove
`splash' and `quiet' as I said before. At least there might be text on
the screen when it stops doing anything and that could give a clue.
Cheers, Ralph.
I am still concerned that you haven't altered the BIOS Boot menu enough
to select boot from alternate places. I have seen BIOS's with two places
where you have to set this. If you get through to the prompt to boot
(existing) Mint 17, without seeing the little prompt at the bottom of
the screen to hit any key to boot from CD: Then it is not set up correctly.
Where is that damn 'Any' key anyway?
