Hi All,

I am very new to linux installation. I downloaded 4 disk images FC4-i386-discX.iso and they all passed sha1sum.

I used nero 6 ultra edition --> Nero Burning Rom program to burn image to CDs. I burned the image, not the iso file itself. After I burned the first CD from FC4-i386-disc1.iso, I check the CD contents. Everything seems to be fine.

The problem is that the cd won't boot. The boot sequence is cd, and then hard disk. I am pretty sure my computer can boot from cd as it boots from Linux 9 first cd just now.

On my system, I installed linux 9 and I upgraded the kernel(not successful). I have windows 2000 professional. Dual boot grub. Now I decided to install fedora 4 instead. Should I remove the linux entry in grub to be able to boot from fedora 4 disc 1?

This problem has driven me crazy. I have spent 2 days on it. Downloading, checking, burning...

Thank you very much for your kind help!

I just checked the 1st cd contents, no autorun. Does autorun has to be there to be a bootable cd? If yes, does that mean it is a bad burn? thank you very much for any inputs.

It really is a bad burn confirmed. I re-burn it on another computer. The disk works like magic! Thank you all. Cheers
