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.
