Maybe I missed part of this thread but please tell us what particular CD
and book you are referring to. A LOT of these things simply do not work
properly. Also please advise as to what type/brand of CD that you are
using. I can tell you this for certain, you will have to set up the CD
in your system bios as a diskdrive NOT a CD Player for this to work from
a boot startup. You will find this list extremely helpful if you give a
lot of info. Best wishes!
