Getting the CD to boot

[Sean Ryan]

When you say you copied it to a disk - did you burn it as an iso image
using nero or similar ... or when you open the cd in Windows explorer
does it show one big iso file.

You need to burn it as a disk image.  There should be an option in your
cd burning program to 'make cd from image file' - use that and you
should be fine

Cheers,
Sean
