When I boot from the cd it takes me to Dos instead of booting into linux. Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

yes that is the problem

just go to something like Burn an Image to CD
or on the lines, then go find the .iso file, and it should start

what are you using to burn it?

no, you do not extract it
i think in the drop down bar at the bottom once you are looking for the image, you will have different images, you need to select iso
