Check to make sure your Machine can boot from a CD-R
Now make sure your machine can boot to a CD. Most newer machines do this by default, but some older machines require you change a setting in the computer's bios to make it boot from a CDROM. (Don't call me with fixing your bios if you do not know how to get into the bios. The likelihood of me know how ti get into your bios setup is going to be slim to none, unless you happen to have the same kind of computers that I do.)

Alternatively you can make a bootable floppy that will hand the boot process over to the CD if your system is old enought and that is the only way you can boot from the CD.
