my laptop decided to go haywire. someone pointed me towards this software. i followed the EXACT directions on the build page, even using the specified CD burning program. when i popped the CD into my laptop, it recognized that it was a bootable CD, but then it just says "Boot CD-ROM type: Non-Emulation Booting" and stops. thats all it does. after a few minutes it goes to a blinking cursor.
did i do something wrong, or does my computer just hate me?
Full Version: non-emulation booting?

It sounds like you made the ISO OK but that you possibly burned it wrong, but I can't be sure. Please post exactly what you did and what OS you built it on as well as what version and SP of XP you used. Thanks.
When you're building the project, try letting PE Builder burn the CD for you (this option can be enabled at the bottom of the main window).
If you're using a CD-RW then this could be the problem, try using a CDR instead. My old laptop could boot CDR's just fine but would just hang at a blinking curser forever when trying to boot any CD-RW.
