yep tried that already and it didn't work, just went through normal start up upto the logo screen, even tried setting the pc so it will only boot from the cd rom but it wont run the discI don't understand what you mean by "It won't run the disc". When you attempt to boot from the disc do you see a prompt to press any key to boot from a cd? Have you checked your bios to ensure the cd rom is set to boot first? Is the disc bootable?I don't vote for myself I'm not here for the points. If this post helps you, vote. Visit my forum @ http://repairbotsonline.com/
