Unable to format suse Linux

Hello All,

I am new to use linux. I installed SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) trail version which is free for 60 days.

Now I want to again format the whole system and install the same OS again but its not happening.

I am trying with a bootable pen drive which has an .iso image of suse linux os and when I try to go into BIOS it doesn't even go to the BIOS. I have been spinning my head around this thing for the past whole week but still unsuccessful. It says something like ELILO boot and gives options but still finally loads the previous OS. Even when I press F2 to goto setup it says elilo boot and F12 for multi boot option it gives me the same thing. I also tried to directly launch the iso file from directory but it says autorun not found. I tried installing windows in this but to no use the same thing happens. Again I am trying with use linux but still nothing.

Kindly help me in this situation as to what to do I have tried almost everything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

mkcd

mkcd(1M)						  System Administration Commands						  mkcd(1M)

NAME

       mkcd - create bootable Solaris ISO image

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/mkcd -v [-l label] media-root iso

DESCRIPTION

       The  mkcd  utility takes media-root (the root of an on-disk Solaris install media) as input and creates a bootable Solaris ISO image in the
       file iso, using mkisofs(8). The file can then be burned onto a CD/DVD with utilities such as cdrw(1) or	cdrecord(1).  (Neither	mkisofs(8)
       nor cdrecord(1) are SunOS man pages.)

       Caution -

	 The directory tree media-root must contain the file boot/grub/stage2_eltorito, which will be written to the media boot sectors. This file
	 will be modified with some boot information, thus it must be writable. If necessary, first save a copy prior to running this utility.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -l label

	   Sets label as the label/volume name of the ISO image.

       -v

	   Verbose. Multiple -v options increase verbosity.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       media-root

	   Top-level directory of an on-disk Solaris install media.

       iso

	   Name of the output file which will contain the resulting ISO image.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 Creating an ISO Image and Burning a CD/DVD

       The following commands create an ISO image from the content of s10u1 and burn the image to a CD/DVD.

	 # /usr/bin/mkcd s10u1 s10u1.iso
	 # /usr/bin/cdrw -i s10u1.iso
