If you are sure you have a good ISO and good burn to CD, try booting using some of the cheat codes that are available through the F-keys just before the CD actually begins to boot. __________________ oz New Members: * README *

Its amazing how some movies play as scratched up as they are, and 1 speck kept them from booting. Something to check anyway, before you start pulling your hair out. And maybe try it on another machine just for grins.

Try checking the MD5 or downloading it again. __________________ Registered GNU/Linux User #399198 'Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.' -Steven Wright
