So, unless the burning of the CD-ROM somehow failed and/or the CD is damaged, it should really work. Nowwwww, having said that, I once made an extremely stupid mistake. In fact, it's so stupid that I was not going to tell it to anyone, but then, there is a remote possibility the same happened to you, sooo (*blush*): did you actually check if your burning program _interpreted_ the ISO file and burnt the _contents_ to disc (which would be correct), or whether it just burnt the ISO image _itself_ to disc (which would explain why the CD doesn't boot ;) )? I know from personal experience that one feels really stupid when this happens (I certainly did :P ), but at times when dragging an ISO image in a burning program the result is not as expected. In my case this occurred when I dragged an ISO image in K3B under CentOS Linux. I have to add that that day I was somewhat in a hurry and therefore didn't check properly before hitting the "burn" button, but that was what happened to me...:) Cheers! Olafo
