I assume this is an ATAPI DVD? Did you set the BIOS to first try to boot from CDROM? If it's SCSI, did you enable booting from CDROM in the SCSI BIOS?

It's an ATAPI drive. The problem isn't only that it won't boot, but also I can't read any files off the disc. I can't even get a directory listing... I think it's a bad disc, but want to just make sure that there isn't something else I need to do. e.g. do I need a special boot disk, as maybe the DVD is in a special format?!?
