No Startup Installation Screen...


All right, I have this computer right here:

http://us.acer.com/acereuro/page4.do...crc=1163154511

Acer Aspire 5672WLMi

I got SuSE 10.1 on DVD after downloading it. I put the DVD inside, and restarted my laptop, and nothing happened, it tried to load for a while, but it just went back to the Windows XP loading screen.

Anybody know what's wrong?

Thanks.

Dear Delpheno,

Did you check if you configured your BIOS to boot from DVD?

Rgrds,
