OEL 6.3 install disc not booting
Hi,
I downloaded the OEL 6.3 install disc from Oracle. It is an ISO image ( of around 3 Gb ) and its readme states it is bootable.
However when I try to boot this disc I am getting the error
"Non System Disk or Disk Error. Replace and strike any key"
There was no problem downloading the ISO image or buring it to DVD. I have also checked the BIOS of the HP x86 server I am booting this on ( boot from CD is the first option - indeed you can hear the drive accessing )
I even tried copying the contents of the DVD to a USB external drive and booting from there - however I got the same Non System Disk message.
My hard drive is a completely blank / new hard drive.
Any thoughts as to what the problem could be would be greatly appreciated ?
Jim
