I used something called "DVD Decrypter" to burn the CD from ISO format to a proper CD format, I also used NTI CD & DVD Maker 7...
I Burned the dowloaded item. | |

I find that sometimes, for some reason, I can't get certain discs to boot unless I disable the hard drive completely in the boot sequence. I can set CDROM as the first boot priority, but it'll just skip right over and boot the HDD anyway. The computer I'm typing this from is just one such case. Dell Dimension 4550.
Try disabling all boot devices except the CDROM and see what happens. | |

Err... the same general area you changed it to boot from USB CDROM?
Manual: http://csd.acer.com.tw/acer/URMUL1.N...4?OpenDocument Quote:
Boot sequence
To set the boot sequence in the BIOS utility, activate the BIOS utility, then select
Boot from the categories listed at the top of the screen.

USB CD?
Just to be sure you did this right. Use deepburner
When you go into your BIOS where you set the first boot device. Disable everything except the CD drive. Usually this is done by pressing the space bar or there may be a disable button. Press F1 while you highlight a device to get a bit of help. | |
