installing Fedora 3 on Fujitsu E-6555

[webtekie]

I am trying to install Fedora 3 on my laptop, but no luck. When I insert Fedora boot cd, on booting system does not read it and just goes to Windows. However, if I insert Windows XP cd, system boots from it. I know Linux cd works because I used it to install Fedora on my desktop a few days ago and updated Linux today with it. Any suggestions? The difference between Linux and Windows boot cd is that Linux is DVD and Windows is CD.

thanks a lot,

does your notebook have a DVD-rom ? Can it read DVD's ???

[webtekie]

yeah, I played dvds before. Never booted from DVD though...

Did you change the BIOS settings on your Notebook to Boot from DVD/CD-r player ?

[webtekie]

yes, that's how I can boot when I insert Windows XP boot CD.

what speed did you burn the DVD at? some DVD/CD-rw players have problems with the writing speeds. All depends on the model, age and yes, even the color of the DVD you used to burn with.

hmm, I'll have to check on that one. thanks.
