live cd (fedora) help
im trying to install fedora 17 through i live cd, ive burned it with cdburnerXP and when i try to boot up i just go straight to windows, any suggestions on what to do to make it work?
file name (just in case):Fedora-17-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso |
When you burned the iso file to CD, did you select burn as image? Do you have the CD drive set to first boot priority? Did you do an md5 checksum to verify the download was good?

Be sure to set burn at slowest speeds while you are at it.
|
I burned the CD, lowest speed as you guys said and it dropped into debug and wouldn't even boot the live CD, any suggestions?
|
Then tell us more about your computer. Does it meet the minimum hardware specs?
Did you test your download? Is this system known to boot to burned cds? |

Success!!!! First pic sent via e-mail, thanks to your post making me aware where problem lay. I was trying to do it using HOME on desktop to select, then Yahoo to attach & send. Your explanation of Yahoo part made it clear that HOME part was not needed. It's absurdly simple now I know what to do, but I sure felt I was beating my head against the wall trying to get some information. Thank you, Благоддаря,Спасибо, ..... Mike |

Odd as it may seem, downloaded iso images have been wrong. Even though were were told that tcp connections are checked.
Every distro posts a way to test your download. Some use a type called md5 while other use shal or such. You find the posted number and use a program to test. Since you say other distro's booted that is a good sign. As to the system, we have to take your word. In general, an iso needs to be burned at the slowest speed to a good or high quality cd/dvd. Some older drives just won't read anything less than very properly written data. Ram being close to the minimum could cause issues. Some system may take a large chunk for video leaving you too little to run live cd and installer. |
