Reply: (edit)Is DVD an option? The DVD download method has instructions including md5sum checkum checks. Best guess is either the files were downloaded with errors or the ISO images were incorrectly burned to CDs.

Reply: (edit)You need to burn the iso image in to a CD to create a system file, normal burning don't allow you to boot from the CD. Burn the file in to the CD in ISO option, which is available in most of the CD burning software.
hope this help.

Reply: (edit)1.Download utilities like isobuster.
2.Open the iso source file using the utility
3.Extract the files (from iso image)using the utility to a folder on the cdrom
4.the cdrom is ready to be used
