Hello everyone.
I am posting this thread today, hoping to find some answers.
In advance, I have tried the following techniques to try and boot from CD on my Acer Aspire 5515 laptop:
Change SATA information to Native in BIOS.
Set the Boot order for the CD/DVD Drive to start first, along with Main driver starting second.
INFORMATION
My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5515.
BIOS Version is V1.0 (latest) from Acer.
PhoenixBIOS bios (? (http://www.answers.com/topic/phoenix-bios)).
PROBLEM
I have still not been successfully able to boot from CD.
No matter if it says to boot from CD/DVD Drive first, it skips on to Main driver and starts Windows.
It's not because I didn't burn the .ISO image right, because it worked on my desktop, which is ALSO an Acer, an Acer Aspire T180.
Maybe does anyone have any solutions?
GOAL
What I am trying to do, is install Windows XP Professional, and dual-boot it with my Windows Vista. Only thing is, it WON'T boot from CD.
I am really looking forward to the possible solutions to this problem.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.
NOTE: To everyone who helps me, gets free POPCORN! :D :popcorn: And a Mario star :KS
ENJOY!
And please help me. :(
