I downloaded DSL 2.2b, checked the md5 sums, and burned it to a Memorex CD-R using BurnCDCC (My desktop runs M$ Windows). I shut of my computer and booted from the CD-R after changing the boot settings, but it booted Windows. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong and how to fix it?

Don't get mad if I ask this question but what is on the CD?  I only ask because I have done this myself when starting out.  You want the .iso file expanded out.  You should see files and directories not just one file ending in .iso.

Sorry about this...
I think my CD burner isn't working. I burned the ISO onto a CD using my friend's computer, and I was able to boot it. YAY!
