[SOLVED]Installation CD stuck at loading

I'm trying to install Arch on my nettop. But when I select to load computer from CD I see only one string in console: "ISOLINUX 6.03 6.03* ETCD Copyright (C) 1994-2014 H. Peter Anvin et al" and nothing happens after that. On another computer instalation CD works fine. Ubuntu live CD on nettop works fine too (but I want Arch). As I don't see any error or log messages I don't now what to do in this situation. Are there any ideas?

Re: [SOLVED]Installation CD stuck at loading

im sorry there are not enough information to say something qualified about this problem... but
is it necessary for you using a CD?
if not, why not using a bootable USB-stick?

download an image and follow this article:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … otable_USB

Re: [SOLVED]Installation CD stuck at loading

check your bios setup, it can be that theres something written which doesnt allow the boot. i dont know what, but maybe you can find something.

never had that problem before but hope i gave you an idea...
im sorry and good luck.
