Greetings everyone.

I just downloaded the Musix 0.50 iso image, and burned
it to CD.  For some reason, the CD does not boot.

So far, I have tried Roxio for Windows, k3b on Linux
and cdrecord on Linux to create CD's from the .iso
image, and the results are the same; CD just won't
boot.  My PC doesn't see system loader on the CD; it
times out and then boots from the hard drive.

I will try these CD's in my machine at work, and I
will try downloading the .iso to that machine and burn
a disk with it.

I have an idea of the questions that will come my way,
so here are the answers to some of them:

Yes, I have booted from CD in the past, in fact, I
have Musix 0.40 currently installed using Grub to
dual-boot with Win XP Pro.

No, I have not tried these CD's in another PC. I will
do that at work.

Yes, I have mouted the CD's to see if data is on them.

Yes, I have mouted the .iso image on the loop back
device and compared it to what was on the CD; it all
matched.

Does anybody else have this problem with Musix 0.50?

Thank you for your help,

Sorry to reply to my own message.

I downloaded the 0.50 iso image at work, burned it
with cdrecord, and it booted successfully.  The
problem seems to be with my PC at home.

Sorry to bother you with this.

By the way . . . 0.50 is very impressive!  Nice work!

No, just that:

"I downloaded the 0.50 iso image at work, burned it
with cdrecord, and it booted successfully.  The

Yes: I have no floppy here, I dont use them, but, it's possible, try using:

/KNOPPIX/utils/*

From: /KNOPPIX/knoppix-docs/KNOPPIX-FAQ-EN.txt

"Q: My computer won't boot from CD. What should I do?

A: Look in your computer's BIOS to see whether it's set to boot from CD
(on most computers you need to push the "delete" key during the RAM test).
If this is already set, your computer may not be able to read the CD (some
notebooks have problems with black-coated CD's, for example). Some
computers will only use the new BIOS settings after a hard reset. If your
computer doesn't support booting from CD, you can create a boot floppy
using the "mkbootfloppy" program.
"

I think it's talking about: /KNOPPIX/utils/MkImage-ct.exe
