HELP ME please!!
This is my first time touching Linux.

Yesterday i downloaded 5 images of suse10.1
I just burnt the images to 5 CDs (did properly, coz i checked and saw all files and tree directory in each CD).

However, when i restart my comp, it doesnt go to Suse Installation page, but instead goes back to Windows welcome page.

My boot priority is : 1. CD, 2. Floppy, 3. HDD.

PLEASE HELP ME, I AM SO DESPERATE NOW.

I try to do on my friend's laptop, but the same thing happens.
when i open the autorun.inf file in all 5 CDs, i only see

[autorun]
icon = susego.ico

PLEASE HELPPP Me.

This is no guarantee that the ISO's were burned correctly. Here is a link that will give you all the information you need to verify the downloads were good, and how to burn the images so you have good and bootable CD's.

Note you have to get the program for checking the ISO downloads 'md5sum.exe' This is the sure fire way to know your downloads are good.

Second thing, do you ever see the CD light turn on when trying to boot the image you burned? If not, your system may not be set the way you think it is. Hardware boot sequence is set in the bios.
