The CD burning software that you are using must know what to do with an ISO. Try to find an option somewhere for burning a CD image. If your CD burning software can burn an ISO image, then try that. You might want to get your hands on a CD-RW or two, instead of making drink coasters.

Alchohol 120% is a program that can burn the iso, so that's not the problem.

You should try checking the md5sum to make sure the iso was downloaded correctly.

You can check the md5sum from Windows/DOS by downloading the *.md5.txt file that contains the same filename as the *.iso download file.

Then search google for a program called "md5sum".

I use the DOS/commandline version.

Basically, I save the two files and the md5sum.exe file into a folder like C:\downloads\

Then I open a command prompt and type:

c:
cd \downloads
md5sum -c nameoffile.iso.md5.txt

and if your reply is "OK", then the download is not corrupted.  If your reply is "FAILED" then the download is corrupted and you need to download again and/or use a different downloading program like an FTP program or Firefox for Windows.

I checked my new iso's md5 and it was all ok. I also burned a new cd, cd-rw this time so at v.1 I'll not have to rewrite a ne cd. Is it possible that my computer doesn't accept to boot from floppy?
