Fedora 20 installation


I downloaded Fedora-Live-Desktop-i686-20-1.iso and burned image (922.0 MB) onto dvd. I then restarted my desktop IBM NetVista (3.0MHz) To boot from the DVD but it wont boot. ( msg -no oprerating system found).
The image file has two folders - ISOLINUX and liveOS.
At the moment I am running Fedora 13 which I had downloaded some years ago.
Please help.

The DVD looks OK. The Fedora 20 live cd really has those two folders only.

* Some IBM computers had a blocking in the BIOS settings
to prevent booting from "non authorized discs", I think.
? May be you have set the BIOS to default settings,
at a time later than the Fedora 13 install ?
