Error - Press a key to reboot

Hi ! I'm trying to install evaluation copy of astaro 5.0. When I try to boot from cd (iso) I got "press a key to reboot" message and nothing worked. What am I doing wrong?

Thx in advance.

Did you burn the CD correct as a bootable CD? Make sure you follow the instructions posted in our knowledgebase www.astaro.com/kb, check Astaro Security Linux >> Installation

Do other bootable CDs work with this machine?
What software are you using to burn the CD?
Have you checked the checksum? (though it is in all probability good...)

Ok. I tried to disconnect my maxtor hd and boot went good! But I hadn't disk and so I couldn't install astaro. If I connect my maxtor hd (sata) I got "press a key to reboot". Any ideas?

Thx

That could be helpful info; but could I get an answer to my questions?

Got a Windows bootable CD?
Tried it with the hard disk hooked up??
What software did you use to burn the CD??
Am I to presume Nero, by your handle??

AFAIK ASL does not support SATA at this time.
