You cannot with grub4dos.gcmartin wrote:Does this mean that if I have QuickPET/PUP5.2 LiveCD in cdrom at diskette boot time, I will not be able to select an option to start the LiveCD to boot?
If the PC cannot boot off from CD, it means the BIOS cannot handle the CD.
At the boot stage, the boot loader grub4dos reads the files on the CD via BIOS.
But if the BIOS cannot handle the CD, the boot loader grub4dos cannot.
If you want to read the files, vmlinz and initrd.gz on the CD at the boot stage,
there is an option using PLOP.

WakePup2 was the tool for this purpose, but i don't know on what hardware does it work or not. It depends on what CD driver it has. (also same as for PLOP)
