[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk installation

[Sherwood McGowan]

Let me ask you one major thing. Look at the CD filesystem on another
computer. Did you perchance burn the ISO as a file on the CD instead of
burning the ISO image to the CD?

->It seems that it must be the cd that is bad. The Dell has an

->F12 to manually decide bootmedia. But even if I choose the cd

->What emulation shall I have? None or harddrive? I have done

->
->I have burnt both with Nero And Easy CD creator. Lot of

->Thankful for all help!!!

->Actually with Optiplexes (Optipii?) they have a hidden

->Try going into the BIOS and changing the boot order so your 
->CD-Rom drive is first in the boot sequence. Make sure your 
->IDE cable on the CDRom is not loose, and make sure it is 
->jumpered properly as a slave on your primary IDE BUS, or 
->master on your secondary IDE BUS.
->
->When you reboot, you should at least see the led light up on 
->the CD-Rom and it should spin up, if it's doing both those 
->things and still not booting, you probably have a bad CD, or 
->a defective ROM Drive.
