    Searching for boot record from CD/DVD

    Hi, newbie here

    I burnt Knoppix v3.6 onto a CD-Rw, stuck it in and rebooted. i selected the drive in the boot menu (F11) then got the messages

    Searching for boot record from CD/DVD not found
    Searching for boot record from floppy not found

    Then it continued to boot windows

    I know its a simple mistake with a simple answer, but ive scoured the net looking for it with no luck.

    cheers
    -Paul

    P.S. nice forum

    I used Instant CD+DVD, just put the .iso file on and burnt

    I used this method with Austrumi and it worked fine.

    i will try the burn image thing but not sure it allows you to do so

    the only option it gives is "save as ISO-image" which i tried, just got the same message.

    the version of Nero i have is "incompatible" with windows xp. Another windows con to get to you to upgrade. grrr

    Well, you could try this: http://btmgr.webframe.org/
    Other than that, have a look if there's a BIOS upgrade available for you.
