What happens when you insert other CDs (music or app installers, etc.)? Also, did you try selecting the CD in the startup disc CP? See if that makes any dif.<br><br>

Try using the Startup Disk Control Pane to select the CD as the boot volume. Does the computer see the CD when you insert it?<br><br> Alas, poor Yorick. -- Hamlet
