Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM Failure

Comment:

Hi there, I'm trying to dual boot my computer. I've installed a fresh copy of XP withoout any problem, my computer booted up from Windows XP CD-ROM. But when I try to boot it up with a UNIX ISO CD-ROM (FreeBSD 7.2) it fails. I've tried it with another computer and succeed. (no problem with booting UNIX CD). any idea? ~Mehrdad
