Hello,
I've been using CloneZilla for awhile now in the work setting and it works great! In fact, it was a life saver!

I decided to use it at home. I made a new Live CD, but it will not boot on my home pc. My home pc is set to boot the cd-rom first... I have checked that. Plus, I can tell it is trying to boot. It will show a blackscreen with a white blinking cursor for about 10-20 seconds and then it ends up loading Windows XP. I know for sure it is trying to boot the cd because I can see the lights on the cd rom drive and also hear it spinning. Also, if I don't have the cd in, it doesn't show the blank screen with the cursor when I boot up.

Now, here is the funny thing. This Live CD will boot on other pc's. So what could keep it from booting on mine?

I have an Asus P5RD2-VM motherboard running an Intel Pentium D processor. I'm not sure what else you need to know.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Doug
