You would need to "install" the program to a floppy disk and NOT to your HDD. It will then create a boot disk. It may or may not solve your issue with booting the DVD. It allows a system to select booting devices that might not otherwise be available in the BIOS selections. It may also help a faulty BIOS boot from the optical drive. I would be more inclined to try some of the cheat codes as I had described before, but the Smart Boot Manager is a great disk to have handy, so you wouldn't be wasting your time creating one. Use a "NEW" or clean disk when you create it, and follow the directions to the letter.
