Re: [cobalt-users] restore CD trouble

Hello,

I have finally downloaded a full RaQ3 iso from the sun cobalt site and cut it to disk. I cannot however figure out how to get my Windows 2000 Pro machine to boot first from my F drive, where the CD is placed at reboot. The CD is supposed to self-boot into a DHCP/somthing server
that will hook in with the box to restore it "magically"...

I am concerned that perhaps W2000Pro has some kind of security feature for preventing boot up from CD rom? I have gone into my BIOS settings and set my boot-check sequnece to F,A,SCSI, but even
that doesn't seem to work, and I always boot back into W2000 from C.

Any helpful hints out there?,

Do you have another computer to try it in? You probably don't want "F" in the bios, but CDRom or IDE or removable drive, that is if the drive is IDE and not SCSI. Have you ever booted to the CDRom at any time? It may not be bootable.
