Default 2159-S90 not booting from CDRom - 05-05-2006 , 09:30 AM






Hi,
I have an Aptiva S90 with the last bios update (2/11/99). I configured it
to boot from the CD, which it won't do. I have several bootable CD's but it
won't boot from any of them. I also have an internal Zip drive. Any
suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Is it still the original CD drive? If so, maybe it
cannot read that particular type of bootable CD.

My 2176-C23 (which is the same mainboard as yours)
boots fine with CDs that I make (using Nero to create
the bootable CD using a Win98 emergency boot
diskette)
