So uhm, I'm stuck

I burnt the Mandrake ISO(and extras disk) and my computer doesnt like booting from CD-Rom.

I looked and there's no Rawrite so I could make a boot disk, so what do I do now

Update:

I got it to boot but it sais "This does not seem to be a Mandrake Installation disc"

It is!

I would check the docs online and see if you can download a boot disk image from mandy. Worth a shot..

did you verify the iso to make sure it's good ?

www.linuxiso.org has directions for checking

Well doesn't the mandrake iso have a boot.img. Try using a version of some other distro's iso (redhat) that has rawrite and tell it to use the mandrake 9 boot.img. You could also (if you are really desperate) take a small version of linux that fits on a floppy, install that and when you get a command prompt mount your CD rom and start the install.
