    I tried using my XP cd and making an iso, just sits there and says it can't find a boot device. Anybody else have this problem?

    Have you tried changing the boot sequence so that the CD-Rom is first?

    This question has been addressed many times in this forum. The CD MUST be the master device on controller zero (IDe address 0:0) for the boot to work.

    Hopefully this will either be fixed (I think it's a bug) or at least documented in the manual soon.
