Help With AROS
« on: November 27, 2004, 09:36:09 PM »
OK I've burned 2 CD's of AROS and it just won't boot. I've tried it on 3 different PC's.. they try to boot from the CD but it eventually just carries on with the boot sequence and starts to load from the HD. What am I doing wrong?

I have downloaded the ISO and put it onto a CD the mount-rainer way, I have even tried extracting the ISO and placing the files onto the CD manually. I've tried every way possible and it won't work on any of the 3 machines I tried it on. I don't think it is a hardware problem because Linux images load fine directly from CD...

I use the standard OSX method of burning CD's which is basically just literally putting the image file onto the CD and burning it. I can't see any problems with that because it is direct... I got no grub screen no nothing.

It says "searching for boot record.." waits a few seconds then just loads Windows 98 as normal?

The boot sequence is CD-ROM, Floppy then HD so that shouldn't be a problem.

Readable yes, exectutable.. obviously not.

Tomorrow I will put the ISO image onto the Windows box and try burning the image to CD using the NERO software. I will let you know how that goes..
