Bootable CD Problems…?

Well I’ve been fixing a computer for awhile, and it just seems like problem after problem.Considering I can only fix it every other weekend and when I am, I have no internet access to diagnose problems… So… The hard drive is totally clean, no OS or anything on it. I Set the BIOS to Boot from CD, first and saved it. When I put in any Bootable CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive I get the Invalid System Disk error. I have tried it with Multiple CDs, Trying to boot setups and Linux Live OSs(I have tried 2 WindowsXP disks, 1 Slax, 1 Gentoo and 2 Ubuntu). What should I do? Is the CD-ROM Drive broken?

  1. well your problem is in your CD rom drive, check if your jumper setting is right a harddisk is master, and your cd rom is slave..

    have you seen your harddisk and CD rom brand and model in your bios.. if yes then your jumper settings is right,

    clean your CD rom lens.. maybe you can have a lens cleaner… But in my CDroms I opened it and clean with semi wet cotton buds…

    or

    your CD rom must be replace right away…..
    bought a new one…
