Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is a likely the user cannot boot from the DVD because the optical drive has a lower boot priority than the HD.
Key Takeaway - If the Optical drive has a lower priority in the BIOS than the HD, the BIOS will boot off the HD without ever checking the Optical Disk. It is not common to have optical drive booting disabled in the BIOS, and with or without a password, the devices should still boot properly. The DVD being corrupt is possible, but is not the most likely solution.
