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?

No Bootable Drive? (Linux users)?
Ok, my BIOS recognizes that the hard drive is there, but when I go to boot, I get a screen that says “No Bootable Device”… I can boot ‘Live CD’s’ but cannot get to the HDD…Any suggestions? What I did proir to the problem was try to load Damn Small Linux over Suse. Any suggestions? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
