thank you commadore john , i tried your suggestions and and none of them worked but i googled your suggested instructions and it kinda opened up a whole new world of stuff ive never played with . was up late trying to get cd to boot trying to boot from usb stick and finally gave up for the nite and started playing with setting times to run programs automatically thru the the terminal when imm asleep . overall i learned a lot last nite but didnt really get anything done lol

nicholos this might be my problem i dont know . i just downloaded the morphos file and burned it to disk thru finder . i dont know if i burned it correctly or not . when i click on the morphos-3.2.iso file i can see classes and applications  boot.img  bootpeg1img ect ect  but how do i know if the disk i burned is just a datadisk or a bootable one (obviously its not booting lol) is tehre another way i should be burning my disk? another program besides finder?   thanks
