View Full Version : Can't get 6.2 to boot from a live CD

The disc worked on my laptop just fine. I then tried to boot from it on an AMD desktop and it won't get past the hardware configuration status bar.

I also tried to boot from a ubuntu disc that did a similar thing. I get splash screens, but it won't complete the boot.

Am I looking at an incompatibility issue?

The desktop is an AMD 2600 with 512mb ram. Laptop is a Dell 6400 T2500 with 2 gigs of ram.

Suggestions?

What speed was the disc created at? I often see this problem with people who have done high speed burns. If the disc was created at high speed I suggest burning another copy at 4x.

I thought that wasn't going to fix it because it worked on my laptop...

learned something new tonight. That indeed fixed it. Thanks.
