SuSE & XP Boot Fine--I'd like Fedora...


I've got SuSE & XP harmoniously dual booting on two separate hard drives.

I'd like to install Fedora in a new partition on the same drive that SuSE is on.

I've burned the Fedora ISOs, but I can't boot from the CD, since I can't get past the SuSE bootloader.

I tried turning off the Linux drive, but that didn't work. Leaving the drive on and selecting "Floppy" as the boot device doesn't work.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

can you boot any CD ?

probably you need to switch boot prorities in BIOS setup - CD before HDD

AltF4...

I had already tried changing the boot sequence in BIOS.

I am unable to get it to boot from the CD. Is there a way that I can change the boot sequence or add an option for the CD within SuSE?

Thanks,

Herk
