Problem booting from the Fedora install CD

(1/3) > >>

kingcobweb:
I am running Windows XP, and I want to upgrade to a dual-boot with Fedora. I have all three ISO's on CD. When I try to boot to the CD, it says that it failed, and F1 to retry and F2 to go to some settings. I am sick of Windows, and I need help!

WMD:
In Windows, check the CD and see if you can make a boot floppy from it (usually there's a "dosutils" directory).  Boot from the disk.

hm_murdock:
what did you burn it with? it's possible that the software you used doesn't support creation of bootable CDs. I'd say that's the #1 cause of unbootable CDs

Refalm:
I got Nero with my motherboard. So far, it burned Slackware, BeOS Max (which is difficult for most burning programs, so applause to Nero) and Lycoris, and they all booted.

Once in Linux, you can use something better, like X-CD-Roast.

That makes no difference if he's burning isos.
