cd/dvd drive boot problem

Expand Post »
I am using TSST Corp CD/DVDW TS L632D ATA CD/DVD drive and when I insert the installation disk, it does not detect during the boot and directly restarts. But in Windows it works as normal. Any solution to my problem ???

Re: cd/dvd drive boot problem

what does "but in windows it works normal" mean? i am going to assume you have 2 computers and "windows" refers to one of them. make sure you have the boot sequence set up so that the cd-rom is ahead of the hdd in the sequence, otherwise you will get the behaviour described.

I meant the CD Drive. Also, I have set up the priority for cd-rom ahead of the hdd and it didn't work.

I also tried disabling other options and made cd drive to boot from the disk but it did not also work.


Is there any other way to my problem?

Re: cd/dvd drive boot problem

if you have more than 1 drive, make sure you are prioritising the correct one. if it still does not work, maybe the drive is faulty? can you read cd/dvds after the computer is actually booted?

Re: cd/dvd drive boot problem

Seems BIOS doesn't detect it!
Two option:
1. Upgrade your bios (Be careful to follow instructions as it is dangerous)
2. Use boot Disk to do the Job

Re: cd/dvd drive boot problem

What installation disk?
The CD must have boot files to load at startup.
