I set up in my bios to boot from CD-Rom. And when it does it says CDROM Boot Failure Please Insert CD and Press Enter. The cd is in the CDROM. Any help is appreciated.

Did your burn the CD correctly?

If you insert the CD into a MSWindows computer and view it with Windows Explorer, you should see something like:

KNOPPIX\
boot\
lost+found\
index.html

If you see something like:

dsl1.0.iso

in the explorer window then you burned the cd incorrectly.

Make sure that you choose something like "Burn CD image" or "Burn image file" from the CD burning program menu, NOT "Make an ISO CD".

Well I open it up and it shows all the files like you said before. But I'm still getting that error. I don't have an option to burn an image.

You may want to check the MD5 checksum.  I've burned some bad CD's in my time and gotten some "unexpected" results, that is, no boot, and no real good reason, until I burned another CD.

Good luck!
