Won't boot from CDROM

Post by x10pf »

I've got an older IDE CDROM connected to a DT366 via a USB adaptor through a powered USB port.  Bios has been changed to boot from CDROM first.  A bootable CD is in the CDROM.  However, starting the tablet does a normal boot to WindowsCE.  Any ideas on what to try?

Thanks for the response.  The bios gives me three rows of 6 choices each, if you count NONE as a choice.  Otherwise, there are 5 possible settings for each row.  I have CD-ROM as the first choice.

To say these things are touchy would be an understatement. What bios version are you running? Initially I had problems finding a cd rom that worked and then a usb hub that worked and then a usb stick ... By that point I had to reset bios to defaults and move usb to priority. Then I was ok.
