I attached an external usb cd drive and tried to boot from the S11E cd, but I just get thrown into GRUB. I have tried to boot from winxp and win7 install cd, and it worked fine.

How can I proceed from grub? Is it possible to install from usb external cd?

I had trouble booting from a USB drive when there was a second USB
drive plugged in.
