#535 — Request Urgent Help -- machine does not recognise install CD

Could some Linux guru please kindly help ? I had an older machine
running RHEL 4.0, which I wanted to upgrade with Fedora 14. I
downloaded the ISO files from http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/14/Fedora/i386/iso/
and used the Nero tool on a Windows XP machine. I burnt the ISO files
on to the CDs using the option '... as a Data CD'. No problems at all
during the burning.
When I insert CD #1 into the CD ROM drive of my computer, I get the
whining noise, but then no installation start screen appears. When I
re-insert the CD of the old RHEL 4 and start the machine, immediately
the installation start screen shows up on screen.
Could someone please kindly let me know what to do to get around this
issue ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Burn the ISO you downloaded as an image not as a data CD.

Burn as an image, not as a data CD. If you burn as a data CD, when you
examine the disk, you will see only the .iso file.

As others have correctly advised, don't burn as data CD.  You should
"burn image" or "burn as .iso".  Also, if you are having problems with
Nero, as I always did, try burnatonce.  Small, fast, and it works
where other utilities choke.  Plus, it's free:

I do not understand why if one has a system installed with GNU/Linux as the
original poster does, that people are recommending Windoze software and not
k3b or brasero or xcdroast or ...  or even nautilus.

<http://www.yolinux.COM/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialCDBurn.html>

What is the point of installing a GNU/Linux system if one is
not going to use it or learn how to use the tools that are
readily available?

You should ask the original poster, after it all, he started this with:

     I downloaded the ISO files from
     http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/14/Fedora/i386/iso/
     and used the Nero tool on a Windows XP machine.

No, that doesn't make sense, but once he was doing that, the rest just 
followed.

My point was that he should be encouraged to burn the ISO on his Centos
system and to explain what tools are available eg k3b, which has under
the TOOLS menus, burn image -- just as simple as, if not simpler, than
the various walk through various screens on Nero.
