can't boot normal bootable iso dell dem 4700
Hi,
I trying to boot a suse 10 disc from a dell dimension 4700, used the very same disc in my own box works fine.
The optical drives are as follows:
-Master -GCR-8483B
-Slave -NEC DVD+/-RW ND-3450A
I have it set to boot from optical drives before harddisc.
If I put in a windows disc, it will begin the setup process.
Does this box, being that it is a dell, only support microsoft.img (ms boot images)
Or does it have something to do with it being atapi and supporting boot emulation.
If you could be quite elaborate on the problem as I do not fully understand the whole atapi thing, I just figured that ROM's made this side of the stone age would boot these discs.
