PC does not recognize live CD

[Thomas Blasejewicz]

Good evening
I did have the same problem with 9.10:
when I insert the live CD into the drive, the computer boots from HDD
and apparently "mounts" the CD,
but it shows absolutely no intention to boot from it.
When I put the same CD in my desktop Windows machine, it does what it is
supposed to do.

AND, the note PC I am using for Linux DID/DOES recognize/boot from a
live CD of Ubuntu 9.04 (that is why I have that system installed - thus,
the drive is not broken).

Is there any conceivable reason for this anomalous behavior?
Is there any way to make the computer boot from the 10.4 CD?
(if possible at all, I would greatly appreciate an explanation that even
a layperson like me can follow).


Thank you.
