Hi all
I got myself a nice new laptop on the weekend. Dying to install linux on it
but cant as the bios cant see the dvd/cdrom and so I cant boot ANY cd from
this device.
The laptop is badged pioneer but it is a mitac 8355 (athlon 64 bit, 1GB RAM). The bios is Insyde Mobile Pro Bios 4.00.05 (R1.01?). XP detects the dvd rw as teac dv-w22e. It is basically this: ttp://www.tuxmobile.org/xeron_sonic_pro_800mx.html
Anybody see similar problems? Am I lookiing at a bios upgrade? Any ideas please.
FWIW, I have a totally different laptop (which I will happily trade for yours), and I have to turn on "Legacy" USB support in the BIOS before I can boot from any USB device.
