Help booting from DVD
Hello, I just got the Fedora Core 6 DVD and I want to remove windows from drive C: and installed Linux instead of it. Though, the DVD is not booting and I even tried a Windows XP bootable CD and it's not booting. I'm on Windows XP Home Edition.
Please advise on how to boot from the "damn" Dvd.

Hi and Welcome !
set CD Drive as First Boot Device in BIOS. press Esc key ( its Del, F8, F11 keys in some machines) at Startup to enter in BIOS Setup.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

I entered the BIOS and such option isn't there. There is one called Boot Numlock which is set to enabled. Other than this, nothing. :S

Can it boot from a floppy? If so, you can try Smart Boot Manager Download , it will allow you to boot from the CD
