In Windows, have a look at what's on that CD. Do you see a file that ends with .iso? Or do you see several files and stuff? Sounds like you may have burned the .iso file to the CD rather than burning the iso image. If that is the case, check back and we'll steer you through the process of burning the image.
 
If this isn't the case, you may have a corrupt CD, either through the burning process or it was corrupted during download. Did you do a md5sum check to see that the file was all there before burning it?

Actually, I have same problem as you, fjrg76. I've posted also (Post #154950)
 
Someone dowloaded it and burned the CD and DVD for me.
 
This is qustion for Dapper Dan.
You said "Sounds like you may have burned the .iso file to the CD rather than burning the iso image." Maybe my friend burned it as a file. How do you burn them as iso image?

That's a very helpful link ohhst! Thanks for linking it. I have it bookmarked to show to any future inquiries about .iso image burning!
