Hi, I am new here
I have HP 6735B. I am trying to install openSUSE but I can’t boot from CD. On all other computers and laptops I can start the installation with same CD, and on this HP i can start all other installations (WINDOWS, UBUNTU…)…please help 
Go to your bios and set it here. Choose boot from cd or DVD etc.
I have done this. When I put CD in laptop and start it, on my screen is just HP logo and nothing is happening…
Try to set again bios first boot cd
second boot cd etc
Maybe you must check your cd. Try to write your installation image in another dvd.

i understand that other machines can boot from this CD…
and, other CDs can boot on this HP…so, it must be a matter of
this CD on this HP…right?
so, try a few things, like:
-
use a CD/DVD lens cleaner disk because maybe the lens is a little
dirty (anyone smoke around the CD reader?)…those can be purchased in
lots of music shops…come with a little liquid cleaner–READ and
follow the instructions explicitly… -
take a good look at the data side of the CD: does it have
fingerprints, or scratches, or dried cola, or anything on the surface?
if so very very gently and carefully hold the CD under a water tap
with a little flowing WARM (not hot) water and then use a drop or two
of grit-less dish washing liquid to gently (with your hand, no brush
and NO finger rings) wash the surface…then dry carefully with a very
soft and lint-free cloth…
if you do both of those and it still will not boot, you will probably
have to buy another CD drive…or, burn another disk and cross your
fingers…
unfortunately, not all CD readers can read all CDs…it is something
about head alignment and blah blah blah and LUCK!

For me it is sample of politeness.

back in the old days (the '90s) when America On Line (AOL) made
internet access so easy to jillions of n00bs, and so many of them
would come into a thread…like one where folks might be talking about
how good buttered bread is…and, one guy might write:
“I like buttered bread.”
and, soon there were be 15 (or 150) AOL folks writing:
“Me too.”
and, after a while the folks who had been around the internet a few
years would make fun of the AOL n00bs by writing
<AOL>Me too.</AOL>

Yep!!!;)
My laptop dont boot my opensuse 11.4 dvd.
- The DVD reader works (in windows i can read files, and a windows vista has recently instaled)
- The DVD disk works (i install this suse dvd in another laptop dell)
- The bios is set for first boot from cd unity
- When i push the F9 key at the boot, for media boot, dont list the CD media option
I found this “solution” for the installation of winxp in HP site:
Some anoter idea!
So it let you install Vista OK?
