As a workaround, booting TC from HD with options 'base norestore' would give the same result as booting from CD.

Thanks, but this does not work (I'am a absolute beginner) ...

- If the boot screen is showing, I press F2
- I wrote "base norestore"
- the system said: "Could not find kernel image: base"

I think, the syntax is another ...
