Hi everybody,
my problem is:
I hav a Toshiba Tecra A4-PTA40E laptop. the problem is that eventhough I set the BIOS to boot from dvd-rom first, it always boots from the hdd makin no effort to boot from the dvd-rom. i see that the bios save the configuration but no change happen. One more thin is that when i remove the hdd it finds no problem to boot from the dvd-rom but once i put it back the same problem persist.
bios information: ACPI BIOS version: 1.70
thank you in advance.

Bonsoir
the dvd must be bootable (xp cd or vista dvd are bootable, video dvd are not bootable) -
hi Redhat,
the dvd-rom drive used to boot from either bootable CDz or DVDz, my laptop stoped booting after a bad shutdown i think, but before that everythin was ok.
lately i run a scan on the BIOS and this is the result:

A reset of the bios is possible, if you pull out the battery for an hour (pc complete shut down before)
Sorry, no other ideas

Hi blackrolf,
