Hello, For some reason or another neither of my comps will boot to the CD-ROM. I changed the sequence in BIOS but it still goes right to the HD. I am tring to dual boot with Linux and the partitioning is already done but I cant boot from the CD, in fact I can't boot ME even from start-up. I have a Biostar M7VIF MB and a Lite-on cdrom. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have the same problem.

I boot linux perfectly, but I cannot boot winme.
It freezes after grub boot loader.

I cannot boot even from a diskette or CD!!
The same problem, freezes.

The only way to boot from a floppy is disable
the hard disk on BIOS. It looks like the standard
boot detects something erroneous on hard disk...

But this doesn't help so much, because I cannot
"see" the hard disk (it is disabled on BIOS).

Anyone could help or have the same problem?

Thanks in advance.
