Hi guys,

I have a curious problem whereby my notebook won't boot off a CD-ROM.
Now I'm trying to find a way to get around this.

This is very vague. Did this machine ever boot off of CDROM?
Some machines have a BIOS option which can be set.
Does it have a floppy disc drive? If so, and your BIOS
does not have an option to boot like that, then you
might try the Smart Boot Manager.

I've also tried sbootmgr (that comes on the Slackware CDs) on a USB
disc, and it loads, but then my keyboard is dead - otherwise it would
have been perfect.

Hmm.

I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
