    I run a Lenovo SL-500 notebook, type 2746-73U. CD-Rom is
    listed first in my CMOS boot order. I am able to burn ISO's to
    my combo drive, and restore backups from this drive, but my system
    will not boot from this drive.
    I have tried to boot a CD-R and DVD+RW, each with a stable
    G-Parted iso burned on to them, as well as from my Windows XP
    setup disk, all to no avail - it always goes straight to my WinXP
    logon screen. Any suggestions anybody? Regards, Jeff
