    I did! I didnt get the black screen up with the options on it I pressed F2 and selected boot to CD rom drive but nothing happened.

    So did you change the boot device order in the BIOS and save the change, so that it would boot from the CD? If you did you have not burnt the CD correctly, unless your CD drive is broken.

    Thanks Donnie, as it is booting to Windows then crashing, I couldnt use the disk I made, any ideas??

    If you are sure that you created the disc correctly, try it in a machine that you know to be working.

    You need to turn the machine on, place the CD in the drive, turn it off and turn it on again. Whilst it is booting up you will see the option to Boot from CD, hit Enter at this point.
