I'm pretty sure it is your BIOS then. The Thinkpad T30 is a really old model (2003?)-- I'm surprised that you could even get a slimline DVD drive for it. Have you looked at this page: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T30 ? There are some helpful hints there. I think the DVD support for the T30 may be dependent on the docking station -I'm not sure about that, but it would not surprise me- but even if you could get past that, you'd probably need to install in text mode first, because of the ATI card (which is a Radeon -- alarm bells here! Search the mail archives for information on installation problems with this card). You will need to prepare yourself for quite an adventure! Have you considered installing over a network or USB hard disk instead? It may be easier at first. Regards, pascal chong
