Thread: Old PC --> Booting from CD
Stephen Coates 17:26 22nd October 2011
I have an old Pentium 133 system from around 1996 ish.

It doesn't boot from CD. In fact, the CDROM drive doesn't show up in the BIOS. (It shows up in Windows/DOS after the appropriate drivers are loaded).

Is there anyway to get this machine to boot from a CD?

I have tried PLoP boot loader and Smart Boot Manager, both loaded from floppy disks, but neither recognise the CDROM drive. Not sure whether I'm missing any options to get these to recognise the CDROM drive, so but far I haven't found anything.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Steve
