If so, did you check the CD if it is corrupted?

[AnthonyJ]

Have you tried a different CD-R?

[AnthonyJ]

i didnt burn them, i ordered them fom the company

[ultimateslacker2]

Odd.

How about using a different Cd Drive?

[SuperSam]

Are you trying to install this from the initail boot or from windows. It will not work if trying to install from windows.

[AnthonyJ]

tried a few dif drives, and no i have no windows on hdd, i have a blank formated disk

[ultimateslacker2]

Is this a brand-name PC?

Get the latest firmware/driver for your CD/DVD Drive. This was the reason Vista wouldn't boot for me but I still could read CDs/DVDs. Just not boot.

[AnthonyJ]

na, my cd burner is to date

[ultimateslacker2]

Is this a brand machine , like dell, hp, emachines, etc?

[AnthonyJ]

the one is compaq, and the other is emachine. wont work on either of these, BUT i cant get it to load on another compaq in the living room

Try the "alternate" installation CD or the server CD instead of the live CD. I frequently have issues with the live CD on various machines.
