I burnt 3 discs from the Debian website that won't boot
I downloaded the ISO images via bit torrent and then burnt the discs from the ISO images. The images I downloaded from the Debian 7.6 amd-64 page of the Debian website. However, I can't boot off any of the discs. I also can't see any files when I look at the disc in Windows. What have I done wrong?
You don't need 3 disks, one suffices. However, perhaps the issue is not the disk, but your BIOS: enter the BIOS at boot and set it to boot from the optical drive first. If you have an USB memory stick available and your BIOS supports it, use the unetbootin tool to make a bootable USB disk and install from that.
