Hi all,

Iv been given an old RM CL51 Laptop and I was wanting to play around with Linux on it, but iv found I can't boot off anything Iv set the boot priority in the BIOS and yet it still wont boot off CD_ROM, I have also tried enabling mass USB storage and USB legacy support and it wont boot from USB CD-ROM, I have even tried booting from a USB stick and it wont have that either.

I managed to get windows on it briefly by removing the hard disk putting it in another laptop and installing windows, then putting it back in the RM laptop and installing the drivers.

Does anyone know of any other way I can get this stupid laptop to boot off a CD?

Thanks

Craig
 
thats what I thought but, if windows wont boot off a CD what chance has Linux booting off a CD, also I dont get why a USB CD wont boot
 
I have already been through the BIOS and set everything to boot from CD first, when that didnt work I set to boot from USB and enables USB legacy support and mass storage and still nothing
