Re: Norton Ghost and booting from the Recovery CD

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

It could be something as simple as the BIOS boot sequence.
You neglected to say how the PC will not boot from the CD
(Ignores it, etc..) You need to enter BIOS setup and locate
the Boot category and check the device ordering. Most times
it is set to Floppy, Hard Drive. Just toggle the 1st device to
your CD/DVD drive.
