I just finished downloading SUSE 10.2 Live DVD. I burned it using Nero Burning ROM 7. This is all went OK. Even the data verification was OK.
The problem comes when I try to get into SUSE. After selecting the option to Boot SUSE in KDE, it loads the kernel, then it hangs. Tells me it cannot find the device CDROM from which the files were copied.
I tried the DVD on some other laptops and desktops, still the same problem.
I HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. ONE TIME SUSE LINUX FOUND SOME WINDOWS FILES IN MBR, OTHER TIME OTHER LINUX FILES NOT 100% ERASED IN MBR AREA. I USED A DIFFERENT HARD DRIVE THAT NEVER HAD WINDOWS PARTITIONS ON IT, and had no more booting problems. I NOTICE LINUX SOMETIMES WILL NOT ERASE ALL WINDOWS FILES AND RARELY NOT ERASE ALL LINUX files AFTER A REPARTITION. SUSE ALSO RUNS BEST WITH AT LEAST 512MB OF RAM MEMORY.If you use a new hard drive with common computer components, you should have no problems with a desk top computer.I notice some people have problems with laptops, so I test linux on desktops only. I notice it's best to burn iso cd's at 8x or slower.I burn cd's only with k3b and no problems. I had problems with some window's cd burning programs at top speed.
okay I will do some more testing on live dvd's. But at least I made a point about windows files can sometimes be in the mbr to prevent booting and burning at top speed can cause problems sometimes.
