Hi

I have a new Dimension 4600 from Dell. I burned the iso files onto CDs
and now I am trying to boot my computer from the cd rom.

It actually finds the CD and runs through it then fails. I used the
md5summer.exe to check that the iso files were ok and there were not
any problems.

Can anyone help? It seems like there is only a few options I can
try....

I also have a toshiba laptop and it didn't like my iso file on the cd
rom either..

I have XP installed on both already. I go into the set up and select
BOOT FROM IDE CD ROM then save and exit. It then attempts to boot from
the cd.
Thanks
