Debian wont boot from CDROM, but Slackware will...


I can't get my Debian CD to boot from the CDROM, But my Slackware disk will. My Windows 2003 disk wont boot from the CDROM either. This all happened after I installed Slackware over a windows partion awhile back. After that, I had all kinds of funny booting problems. I ended up Ghosting my computer back to windows. But even then debian wont boot to it.
Whats Going on?

so when u had slackware on your system you wasn't able to boot from Windows.
The reason is that windows need the first primary partion to be of its file systme type......but since it was ext2/ext3/reiserfs (or some other linux one) so windows won't boot.
And regarding your Debian CD....try booting it on some other system...probably the CD is not fine.

regards
