Dvd boot error problem....

That error indicates an "incorrect status" of your optical drive. I suggest you run the Dell diagnostics on your drive. To test your CD/DVD drive from the utility partition:
1. Reboot your system. When you see the Dell logo, hit F12 to enter the boot menu.
2. Select Boot to utility partition.
3. Select Test System.
4. Select Custom Test.
5. Use the arrow keys or mouse to select your CD/DVD drive.
6. Insert a CD or DVD.
7. Click Run Tests.
8. Write down any error messages.

insert the cd into the cd rom, when dell logo appears start tapping F12 it will give you the option to boot directly from cd.
also you can try system recovery if you have recovery partition with ctrl+F11.

Hi

Error " System failure please insert the boot disk"


its mean you can't chose the right drive to boot, restart your com, press Del key of boot windows.

u get blue screen of Bios , Chose the Bios feature second option and select the First boot your hard disk and second boot your CD -DVD Rom.

and press F10 to save the changes and restart again now u get the your windows.

if u r trying to boot for the first time it will not boot, u need to make some changes to the boot settings.
sometimes it automatically sets to default and u r not able to boot properly.
while starting the system continuesly press F2 or Del key > it will bring out the boot screen > go to the bootin options and make cd/dvd drive as the first booting device.
Then save the settings and exit the boot screen.
after restarting the system ur cd/dvd will be detected.
if does not then there is a problem with the cd/dvd, or may be it not created as a bootable cd/dvd.
try with another cd/dvd.

Since no MacBook was ever made with an 8GB hard drive, I have to assume you are reading the capacity of the DVD, which isn't an interesting statistic.
There is no reason your MacBook should not boot from the DVD. Even if the internal drive was physically absent it should still boot from the DVD.
If it is not booting from the DVD, then either your DVD is bad, your optical drive is bad, or you have logic board issues.

If you have error codes from the diagnostics, then your drive is failing or has already failed.

Check with Dell to see if you still have a warranty on it. It is covered, if your warranty is still in effect.

Booting to the CD requires that in the Boot Up (BIOS) that you have selected the CD as a bootable item - and that there is something to boot TO in the drive...

What the error is telling you is there is an error on trying to install Express Gate. and best to install on a USB drive. If you must install it on the hard drive. you will have to set to IDE not AHCI or RAID mode. ExpressGate has to be installed on the SATA hard disk is connected to the red SATA port. (Other color slot can not be used)
