Fedora-8-i-386 installation problem
 

Hi,
I am new with Linux this is my first step.I have window Vista on my m/c having two partitions 100 GB(Vista) , 20GB(blank).I want to install fedora8 on my m/c for 20GB partition.I have downloaded(using torrent) fedora-8-i386-DVD(~3.18GB) and Fedora-8-i386-rescuecd(~102MB) iso from fedora site.I can see two WinRAR files with above mentioned name.i burn a DVD with same WinRAR files.
Now i am trying to install fedora by DVD , on restart the m/c and trying to install from CD/DVD(via BIOS) its not detecting DVD and m/c is booting in windows only. I think i am missing some thing or doing something wrong.should i unzip the WINRAR files and the burn the DVD ? Please help me out!!!!!

Thanks,

Yup, unrar the iso files & burn them to disk using your favorite iso burning software. I use nero, but i'm sure there are some good free iso burning software out there.

Hold your horses! ISO file is not a winrar file and does not need to be unpacked. Just burn it as it is. Make sure you do not activate any extra options, like make bootable disk.

Hi Friends,
Thankyou for your time .I have burn the DVD using nero iso image. Its working now.
