suse 10.1 won't install (no autorun) or boot from cd
Hi everyone, i got the linux itch again tonight and finally decided to scratch it haha.

So i burnt my suse 10.1 iso's to CD's and proceeded to try and install it on one of my computers. The computer is running windows xp home, the computer recognises the cd and i can browse the files, but will not auto run and there is no setup file that i can open on the cd either.

So i changed my bios settings to boot from my cd drives, on 1st 2nd and 3rd attempts, and it still just boots xp regardless!

Do i need some driver or program to enable home to be able to recognise the linux set up file?

Your help is very much so appreciated, and i eagerly await your reply so i can get cracking with the installation!

Thanks very much, Max

problem solved folks, it was due to my ide cable being connected to both my disk drives and the disk drive i was using had the pin on the back selected to slave, not cable select or master,

hope this thread may help someone else!
