OK, I went into my BIOS and changed the boot order so that it would boot from the CD, but I get a message saying "Booting from ATAPI CD-ROM: Failure", and it goes on to boot Win95 from the hard drive. What's up?

Did this CD work previously? If not, it's possible you burned the cd incorrectly. You have to burn the cd as an image, not as a data cd.

This is the first time I tried using it, and yes, it was burned as an image.

Is it possible that the disc wasn't finalized when it was burned? Would a boot floppy help?

Also, when I browse D:, all I see is index.html and three folders: boot, knoppix, and lost+found. Is there something missing?

EDIT: This is what ISObuster shows:
