You might have access to your CD-ROM drive by holding down one of the F keys. I found that on mine, it is F8. I heard someone once say F12, so it may vary on your machine. When you do this, you have a choice of what to boot from, such as: 1 3.5 inch floppy disk 2 Volume name - hard drive 3 CD Rom drive Glenn. ----- Original Message ----- From: "The Man With His Guide Dog At The Tent Store" <dabneyadfm@xxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2004 2:01 AM Subject: Re: Makeing Knoppix speak Kirk My system is not really set to boot from the CD ROM and I do not have reliable sighted assistance to access the BIOS.Can I make a bootable floppy to make my Windows XP Home PC have the Floppy access the CD ROM? If so, How? When I burned the CD with Nero 6, the bar got to 97% and then said the burn failed. However, all files seem to be there and the CD works fine.
