Currently I'm trying to dual boot XP and OSX86, using this tutorial;

http://maconpc.distinctlyjordan.com/200 … d-leopard/

When the time comes to insert my Gparted live CD, I do so and get this error, using the "gparted-live-0.3.7-7.iso";

"ISOLINUX 3.63 2008-04-10 isolinux: Disk error 10, AX = 4280, drive EF"
"Boot failed: press a key to retry..."

Any help would be monumentally appreciated.

Re: [Solved] Gparted Live CD Failing to Boot

Similar problem here! sad
Latest stable live CD version, don't boots here.
My system is totally ignoring the CD. It's like there is no CD at tray.

The only workaround that worked for me, is downloading the system rescue CD and launching gparted from there.

Any ways to identify, what the problem is?



EDIT
Ooops! Please ignore my comment! sad
Seems like burning gparted on another vendor's CD, solved my problem.
Everything is OK for me now!
