differences in the entry: Description
Refuses to boot multiple GNU/Linux distributions and ReactOS from CD-ROM which is its only boot source. Some don't pass the bootloader stage due to an image corrution corruption error, for ReactOS it says that one library is corrupted, but most of the time it simply restarts instead of booting even though all the CDs were burned correctly and are fully functional on a different computer. The BIOS has no settings for the CD drive, so there's nothing left to do.
