to whom it may Concern

I download the Suse 10.0 CD's (All five) and I'm trying too upgrade my machine from Suse 9.3 too 10.0. I install the CD in the CD-Rom and I hit PF12 in Bios to select boot-up to CD-rom.

The machine goes into GRUB loading 1.5 and GRUB loading ... Please wait ...

and Suse 9.3 menu comes up ... nothing happen. its not letting me upgrade too 10.0 suse ... Its not seen the CD for upgrade ... Help ...

silly question, but when you put the CD into the drive when running X and browse to its root directory, do you see a bunch of files or a single .iso file?

Its not a silly question but Yeah, there is files on the CD (even a Boot Directory on CD).
and I taught I had a bad CD myself. I create Three Suse 10.0 CD-1 and I'm still not able too boot up with the CD. I create the CD from ISO File on my Suse 9.3 machine using K3B burn software ...

Can you boot using other CDs or DVDs?

If not, check your BIOS settings to make sure the DVD devices are being seeked prior to the hard drives.

I am able to boot from another CD.
I even booted with Suse 9.3 Disk 1.

I check the Bios ... My setting is not set too DVD ... Its set to boot-up too the CD-Rom
and CD-Rom boot-up with Suse 9.3 Disk 1 fine with no problem ...

Very odd. Another silly question: You didn't get the CDs out of order and mislabel any did you ?

Here is a thought, check all the md5s of the ISOs, make sure they match with the originals. Otherwise, you are getting bad downloads or corrupt downloads.
