Re: Thinkpad 600E CD Boot
I have the same problem with my Thinkpad i1200. Don't know the cause,
but here's the work-around I use:
1. boot the bootable "Product Recovery CD-ROM" for your thinkpad;
2. escape from the restoration routine to a DOS prompt by pressing F2
(or maybe F3?) when the restoration program asks you for permission to
proceed;
3. from the DOS prompt, change directories to the CD (on mine it's X:);
4. remove the thinkpad CD, and insert the Debian CD;
5. find the file boot.bat (I think it's in the \install directory);
6. type boot.bat at the DOS prompt, and that should start the Debian
installation.
This also works on my wife's T20 thinpad. Good luck.
