Off to a bad start....

I can not seem to create a CD that will boot. I tried two different PC's. All the data is there when I look at the disk, it just goes right by and boot from the HD.

I thought that would be the easy part :-)

If you have the CDROM selected as the first boot device in the BIOS, it should work... granted, for some reason, we have had problems with CD's burnt from ISOs in the past, specific to Astaro.. the installation process is very *sensitive* at times... however, I've never seen an issue where it wouldn't even boot off the CD. Try a new one.. if you have it, NERO seems to work flawlessly when making these CDs... I always cut the Burn speed down a bit to make sure it all gets written correctly.

I down loaded Nero and tried that - are there any special settings for Nero?

I have asked Astaro to send me a CD - but that will take a week.

At this point all I'm trying to do is see if some old hardware I have will work.

No special settings. Try a different CDROM in the candidate server... if that doesn't work, try another CD burner.

I guess you are burning it as an ISO image, not just burning the ISO to a CD as a data file?

Try burning at 8x speed.

Another good tip is burn at a much slower speed ie x1 x2 and see if that helps.

Ditto on the above.. try a slower burn speed (I suggested that earlier)... if you're using Nero, just use the File..Open function to open the ISO file, that makes sure you burn the image, not the data file, to the CD.
