A LOT of these things simply do not work properly. Also please advise as to what type/brand of CD that you are using. I can tell you this for certain, you will have to set up the CD in your system bios as a diskdrive NOT a CD Player for this to work from a boot startup. You will find this list extremely helpful if you give a lot of info. Best wishes!
