<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>With the CD/USB combo, the CD boot seems to work
consistently on my PC's. I've tested on two recent PC systems: a desktop and a
laptop.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I've noted no difference between shutdown and
restart. I've configured bootup order as both: CD then HD; CD then nothing. Same
result for each.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Bottom line: the CD boot helper is working
flawlessly for me (on recent PC systems).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>How are things going getting your computers to boot? Do you get
this consistently or is it intermittent? I've seen it intermittently
especially if I use restart not shutdown. If I power down its more likely to
take.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
