[KLUG Members] strange reaction to effort to boot from CD

[Eric Beversluis]

I've had trouble on an old laptop booting from CDs. At first I thought
it was the CD, but it's happened on brand new ones I just got from
Bruce.

I get a screen full of messages as ff:

isolinux: Found something at drive = [followed by a hex numeral][a whole
screen full of these messages, each with a different numeral at the end]
...
isolinux: Found something at drive = [ " ]
isolinux: Looks like it might be something right, continuing . . .
[ellipses in original]
isolinux: Disk error 04, AX=42D0, drive 9F
Boot failed: press a key to retry.

Anyone recognize what this might be? (BIOS is set to boot from CD)
