Problems with installing from DVD

English Install/Boot/Login

Hi!
I burned opensuse 11.0 to a dvd. When I open the dvd under windows it starts the installation process, but it won’t boot / install from dvd once I turn the computer on. I tried it with a different laptop and it works fine there. Any suggestions? (Booting from a CD works fine)

Processor: mobile AMD Athlon xp 2000+
RAM: 700 MB

Thanks!

try Smart Boot Manager helps get recalcitrant disks to boot. failing that, did you do a media check ?

Thanks!
I have opensuse 10.3 installed. How do I get the file on teh disk. Using the command line gives me the response “no authorization”.

smart boot manager needs to be run either from a floppy or cd. if you have problems getting it on a floppy,let me know & i will look for the cd iso i have of it. p.m. me your e-mail addy & i’ll send it when i find it

I sent you my e-mail.
Can I use this with only one cd drive when I want to install the OS from a dvd?
And what do you mean by media check?

yep, the program loads in to memory, so just remove the disc once booted from it, put in new disk,select cd drive & away you go
