I have a new computer that can boot from CD, it has booted from only the CD of Redhat and Turbo linux. When I try to boot from a lycoris iso it doesn't work. Does anyone have any ideas or know how to make a boot disk for lycoris.
Thanks.
When my computer boots up I go into the BIOS and set the computer to boot from CD. When I have my lycoris iso in the CD drive it says 'looking for bootable record...none found' and proceeds to boot windows. When I use Red Hat 6.1 that came with a book I bought it boots from CD though. Could my computer just no be able to boot from an iso?
no that shouldn't be the case. if an iso image is created bootable then if you correctly burn it to a cd then that cd will be bootable. maybe you burned the iso image wrong? it's not a normal file remember... check instructions at linuxiso.org if that's what's happened
