Can't Boot a Workstation from the Imaging CD

Possible Cause:  The workstation that you are trying to boot might have a CD drive that doesn't support multisession CDs. The ZfD imaging CD is a multisession CD because adding the SETTINGS.TXT file (and any other files) to the CD makes it so.

Action:  The workstation must have a CD drive that supports multisession CDs. In our testing, we successfully booted an HP* Vectra VL, a Compaq* Prosignia*, and a Dell* Optiplex*, but some other workstations failed, including an IBM* PC 300PL, a Dell Dimension XPS T450, and an IBM clone with an Intel* motherboard. If you can't use a CD as the imaging boot device, use diskettes.

Possible Cause:  Some older workstations and clones are unable to boot with the imaging CD.

Action:  If you can't use a CD as the imaging boot device, use diskettes.
