What does it do when it tries to boot the CD? Does it freeze somewhere? Does it not boot off the CD at all?

It goes so quick some thing pops up but i cant read it

Ah... but did you just copy the iso over to the cd and make a school boy error.. instead of burning an iso image onto the cd?

Otherwise try burning it at a slower speed.

Ooops yes
how do i burn the iso image onto the cd ?
