Hello, I’m currently dual booting Ubuntu 10.04 lts and Windows Vista (64 bit) on an hp dv4 laptop. I downloaded openSUSE 11.2 and made a live CD of it, but the CD will not load. I checked the md5sum of the download, and it was good. Also, my boot order has the CD/DVD drive ahead of the hard drive. Also, all other live CD’s that I’ve made haven’t worked since I installed Ubuntu. Any help would be much appreciated.
Insert one of these LiveCDs, check it’s md5sum. It should be the same. If not, the CD’s are not burned OK.
How did you burn all these LiveCDs?
Could it be the drive is borked? Does it burn audio CDs from Ubuntu?
If it won’t boot off any CD, then check the computer’s BIOS settings.
OK, so I went onto Vista and remade the live CD’s, and they worked. I think the problem was that I was saving the ISO files directly to the CD instead of burning the image (which makes a data disk if I’m not mistaken).
CORRECT!
If you use K3B as burning software it correctly identiifes ISO images and sets up correctly to burn them. If you select burn iso it only shows iso images on HD so no mistake. Other software simillarly.
ALWAYS select 'burn ISO" not burn
