Yes, BIOS is set to boot of CD. It asks me to choose another boot

work for 64 bit iso, a friend's 386 iso boots, but doesn't allow me
to rescue the system because of the incompatibility. This same 64
bit iso disk rescued my other 64 bit system. I even made another
copy, thinking it had somehow turned into a coaster in between
systems. No luck.

When you say you made another copy, do you mean you duplicated
the disc? If so, and it has a problem, then so will the duplicate.
If you started from another ISO image and burnt a new CD from
that, then that would be an entirely different matter.
Mike
I mean I downloaded another copy of the iso and burned a new disk of
the same thing.
Anne
Then you have some problem with either:
BIOS settings (but you say you've checked)
BIOS ROM (old version, corrupted FLASH, etc.)
CDROM drive (have you tried swapping it out?)
cables
kernel can't recognize it's on a 64 bit machine
something else
Mike
Just to chime in here...maybe running a bootmanager floppy might work? I
know I've had to do this in the past. I don't have the URL on hand, but
it's a sourceforge project...google should turn it up.
