Probably the BIOS doesn't properly support 2.88MB ElTorito images. It
will not be fixed on my end if that is the problem, your only workaround
would be to create a 1.44MB ElTorito version of tomsrtbt, or upgrade the
BIOS on the laptop. It wouldn't matter what was installed on it. You
might want to look into the BIOS version and whether is properly supports
a 2.88MB image on a bootable CD. -Tom
