    For some reason, I cannot boot from CD.
    I have been trying to install o/s.
    Done this loads of times on other pc's no probs.
    Yes, the dvd drive is set to 1st boot up option
    I thought it may be a fault with the drive, so I fitted a DVD replacement drive.
    Still no luck.
    I've tried installing Vista, Windows 7 & Linux.
    I'm wondering if my bios is too old, but I can't find an update.
    Anyone help?

    So the BIOS detects the drive?
