well I downloaded the this and put it on a cd then restarted turned it to start with cd and when it booted up it went to vaio recovery system? why is this? this isn't what ts supposed to do is it?

When you burned the disc, did you just add that file or did you burn it as an image? When you look at the contents of the disc do you see one file or an entire folder structure?
