Ok guys I just burned 7100 and tried to boot from the disc but I got an error message saying, "Cannot boot from cd, Error Code: 5"

So I'm off to go research this now...

Why are you making so many Windows 7 threads? There is one big Windows 7 thread, use that for discussion. Smile

Seriously, how did you burn the iso ? I'd use Imgburn.

haha i used Nero 7 Ultra Edition

some other thoughts i have-
both cd roms are on a ide expansion card
i can boot fine from my xp sp3 "CD-R"
i can't boot either Vista or Win7 "DVD-R"

so I'm guessing my pc doesn't want to boot from a DVD period-
wouldn't this suck if I actually paid for Vista or Win7 and it turned into a coaster!

I reported you for linking to an illegal page to take revenge for the fallen comrades, but the posts got deleted and you're still with us. Laughing

On-topic : It's gonna work with the new burn, I'm sure your Nero options were wrong and the dvd isn't bootable. I'm the technical master.

You can't boot dvds ? Wtf !

Do a firmware update to the dvd drive and/or your BIOS.

Or try to "upgrade" your preexisting OS.

I'm using XP and you can't upgrade XP to Win7 only Vista to Win7

I guess I could give that a shot - this indeed sucks monkey balls...

A friend told me you can use MagicIso to be 100% sure if the iso you have is bootable or not.

Yeah after the Maxtor Ultra ATA 100 IDE Expansion card detects the 2 Roms i have it then says a bootable disc has been detected then after that I get a Code 5 error saying it cannot boot - and searching this error really finds absolutely nothing but more people with the same problem...

Oh and I also updated my DVD drive from 1.04 to 1.05 and it didn't help...
Also looking for BIOS update to my mobo I found I already had the latest files in my drivers folder so chances are its already updated but I can't find a floppy disk anywhere to be sure...
