I have an old e-machines etower: 400ix I386. I have windows xp installed, I have a cd-rom and a dvd-rw. While in windows the dvd-rw drive can be read fine, no problems at all. I am trying to install a new OS (suse). The OS happens to be on a dvd. So I go into BIOS to change the boot order to boot the dvd-rw before the HDD. But when I get there I see no option to boot into the dvd-rw. The BIOS is American Megatrends AMIBIOS, I can't seem to find the BIOS version. I'm not sure what all of the options are so here is a list of available boot parameters...
1st - 4th IDE-HDD
Floppy
ARMD-FDD
ARMD-HDD
ATAPI CDROM
SCSI
Network
I20
....what should I do to be able to boot from the dvd-rw?
