Hi Barry,

sorry if this sounds too stupid, but did you actually set your BIOS to 
boot from CD? :-)

I've also experienced compatibility problems with some bootable CDs in 
the past. I was using some older pc systems (BIOS from about 2000), and 
sometimes it was the ISOLINUX boot loader on cdroms that caused problems 
IIRC. In some cases it helped to just repeat trying a few times (10+) 
until it finally booted.

HTH,

Guido
