Ok I'm stuck here, when I select the Boot Menu and then select the CD-ROM drive, it says it's not available - and to either strike F1 to retry boot, or F2 for setup utility. The first time, I went to setup utility and changed the boot order so the drive was first. Then I went back the boot menu to retry, same message. I turned off the PC, turned it back on, still not booting from CD. Turn off and on again, hit F12 to access boot menu, select CD drive, same thing...F1 to try again or F2 for setup utility. And F1 does nothing but repeat the message.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
