    One frequent error is burning the ISO file to the CD, rather than
    burning a CD from the ISO image. If you look at the CD on a windows
    machine, do you see a single .iso file, or a bunch of files. If the
    former, try burning again with the correct options (depends on the
    burning software). If the latter, see if your BIOS is set to boot from
    the CD.
