This probably means that your computer is not capable of booting off of a CD-ROM.

NetMAX version 2.x - 3.x

Place the boot floppy distributed with the NetMAX in the floppy drive and place the NetMAX CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive at the same time. Then restart.

NetMAX version 4.0x

Since there is no boot floppy for NetMAX 4.0x, you will need to get your machine to boot off the CD. First, go into your BIOS at startup and attempt to make the CD-ROM drive the first boot device. The BIOS is normally opened by typing DELETE or F2 or another key at startup. If you are not able to choose the CD-ROM drive as your first boot device, you may be able to update your BIOS. Check the computer manufacturer's website, or call their support number to determine this. If all else fails, you may have to replace your motherboard, or purchase a hardware disk controller that is capable of booting off a CD.
