BSOD when booting from USB CDROM

I have a new x61 tablet. I had wanted to put a copy of Ultimate on
the machine so I wanted to boot off of USB cd/dvd drive. Every
time this ends in a BSOD. I reinstalled Vista Business from the safety partition . With a clean
install, newly formatted system it still happens. I have tried every USB port on the X61, multiple cables and two dvd drives. Does
anyone know what could be causing this???

Thanks,
ED

well where is it crashing? About what portion of the install does it BSOD and what does the BSOD say?

To make the BSOD halt do this:

Right Click My Computer > Properties > Advanced System settings > Startup and Recovery > Then uncheck "Automaically restart" and press OK.

Next time you'll be able to read the blue screen.

Report back the error #.

Thanks... I will have to wait until I get home as that is where the
drive is.

Try changing the SATA setting in the BIOS to compatibility mode.
