Hi, I'm trying to boot a KnoppMyth cd here but I get the same error with Knoppix STD:

bios info:
cdrom is first boot device
hdd is second
third is disabled
both the A and B drives are set to "None"
boot up floppy seek is set to "Disabled"

heres what I get
-----------begin output-----------------
Verifying DMI Pool Data..................
Boot from CD :
1. FD 1.44MB System Type-(0F)
Boot failed
_

----------end output---------------

I can boot of off a Mandrake Move cd, System Rescue cd 2.8, and my Fedora Core cd but neither Knoppix STD, or KnoppMyth will boot.
These cds boot fine in other comuters.
I've tried swapping the cdrom drive, and have even tried putting in a different hard drive. I also get the error whether there is a floppy drive connected or not.

Mobo is a Gigabyte GA-7s748
Chipset SIS748
CPU Athlon XP2200+ 1808MHZ

I have seen this before on a customers computer. It turned out to be the CD drive causing the problem. You might want to try a spare CD-Rom or if thats not available check for a firmware update for your drive. The site http://www.cdrinfo.com/ has lots of info on CD drive firmware updates. Also while you are getting things up to date, you might want to check for the newest motherboard bios update as well.

If that still doesn't work and you want to find more about bootable CDs, this site is a good place to start: http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#howboot
