    Check your BIOS settings to make sure you have boot from CD enabled.

    On a dv8000t I had and returned I was running some programs that had to run from a cold boot (bootable disk) ...

    Enabled in the bios cd/dvd drive as first boot device- And it would auto-load it every time.

    Later, maybe on like 22 days into the ownership of the machine.. Same machine, same disc's, same bios... and it would sometimes read and load, other times not.. :confused: . To get it to work I would have to wait for the bios screen, then select boot from cd manually.
    (even though I had already selected it and it worked before just fine)
