Can't Boot from CD

[pokeseeker]

Every time I boot from CD, I get this error message:

CDBOOT: Cannot boot from CD - Code:5

The laptop I'm trying to install it on is an IBM Thinkpad which has a PII with 225 MB of RAM and a 6GB hard drive.

And here the Lass Session thingy.

Is there anything that I'm doing wrong?

Does the CD boot on other machines?

There are a lot of results when googling "CDBOOT: Cannot boot from CD - Code:5", maybe you need to burn at lower speed. Is that (old) drive able to read the whole CD apart from booting it ? You didn' t happen do burn a DVD did you ?

[pokeseeker]

Yes it does boot on other machines. I booted other CDs before and it worked. I did not use a DVD, and I burned it at 3X.

Does the laptop have a floppy drive? I was able to get passed that error on a Windows 7 DVD by using gujin.

It doesn't. It's more like it did have a floppy drive, but was replaced with a DVD drive. Oh, I don't know if this will help, but I used DBAN.

Try to change these settings:

[Unattended]
UnattendMode = 5 
ComputerType = Standard PC  <<<< change to "Automatic"

and don`t work on the Desktop, use folders (maybe on other partitions):
