Problems with a live CD

[Andrew Burgess]

Hi,

Fredre: I tried typing that in, but it didn't seem to do anything. It just 
put the same message back out.

Jimbo: I looked around in the BIOS a bit, but I didn't want to mess with 
anything I didn't know about.

Thanks for your help. Any other ideas?

I had the same problem on my Dell Dimension.  I resolved it by going in
to the BIOS and changing the RAID config around.. for the life of me I
can't remember what I changed though.
