IBM NetVista 6266 Question....

#1 Post by hitech444 » Tue Oct 10, 2006 11:38 am

Hi,
Does anybody know if you can make the machine to boot from the CD-ROM drive?
After some fiddling with the BIOS settings I didn't see that anywhere...

Thanks in advance

i never tried to boot an ibm netvista from the CD drive..

but it sure should..

is there not a boot order in the bios..?
if so, put the CD drive right next to the floppy drive and BEFORE any HDD's..

All modern NetVista's can boot from CD. Just set the boot order in the BIOS or press F12. ... JD Hurst
