I've also had luck with using SBM (
<a href="http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/about.html">http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/about.html</a> ) to get older machines to boot
from CD-ROM. You need either an SBM boot floppy or to install SMB
to the MBR. It wouldn't work with an original 2x CD-ROM in a
Toshiba Sat.Pro laptop, but did work in the same madchine with a 4x
module, so it isn't always the BIOS that causes the troubles, too.<br>
