However, I now have a problem similar to that described in comments # 68. 69 & 97 on <a href="http://apcmag.com/5046/how_to_dual_boot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://apcmag.com/5046/how_to_dual_boot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first</a> i.e. On my Vista laptop I downloaded the recommended Ubuntu 7.10 from the recommended site, burnt it onto a CD (using Imgburn as suggested in comment 99), then, after setting BIOS boot top priority to "IDE CD: etc.", I tried to boot Ubuntu from CD. But the "Press any key to boot from CD" option (which comes up when booting with the Vista installation CD in place) does not appear, and the system boots Vista. I already tried before writing a CD using Windows Media Center" and with Nero. Have you any clues about what I am still doing wrong? In Imgburn I selected burn option "Data CD" (not "BD") and "burn to the disk directly..." (not "burn using Windows Media Player"). Is it possible that with my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 1505 it is simply not possible to load Ununtu?

If you just select 'data cd' and then put the iso file on the disk then you will not get a bootable cd. When burning an iso you want to burn a 'saved image', 'disk image', 'saved project' etc. (I believe the nero terminology is as such). cheers, Owen.
