Works fine for me, you may need to set your BIOS to boot from the CD (it 
doesn't by default). You can enter most BIOS setup screens by hitting either 
F2, F8, or Delete while the system is first starting up.
Some BIOSes do not support booting from a CD.
If you are using a SCSI CD-ROM drive, you will need your BIOS to be set to 
boot from the SCSI bus, then set your SCSI's BIOS to boot the CD.
