I'm trying to burn a bootable linux ISO file to a CD. I've been using
MagicISO in Windows XP. The program burns something to the CD and
finalises it. I can boot from it, but it just gives "could not find
kernel image" errors. When I look at the CD from within Windows
Explorer it has folders and filenames. If I click on the filenames,
though, the files themselves don't actually seem to be there. For
example, clicking on a "readme.txt" file gives "cannot open", "make
sure there is a disk in the drive you specified".

Any ideas?

What an idiot - I've just realised that I hadn't downloaded the ISO
fully. What should have been a 600MB file was 120MB. Problem solved.
The download must have been interrupted. Thanks guys for the ideas
anyway.

try to download it again and use "CDBurnerXP" to bun the iso file!

Which Linux do you want to Boot / Install?
