    We need a bit more info. Does it throw any error message? Did you set CD Drive as First Boot Device in BIOS?
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    How many disks do you have for Suse?? If only one it is a DVD not a CD. Could it be that your computer does not have a DVD drive but has a CD drive?? Suse comes on 5-6 disks when on CD.

    Could be that SuSE might not support your hardware.

    I've never had a probelm booting a disc because it didn't support my hardware. Also the Disc I tested with was an older SUSE disc

    Well there can only be two reasons

    Either the Disk went bad. (Yes that can happen)
    or
    The Drive is some how missed aligned (never heard of that)
