Wont boot from cd
I wish to install Windows Home server, I have a new pc with windows 7. have change the BIOS to cd boot but it will not run from cd....goes back to windows. have burnt 3 dvd's none will boot. removed hard drive and installed and installed new Caviar green
- blank. system tells me "CD-ROM boot priority..boot ready next line says reboot & select proper boot device or insert media in selceted boot device and press any key.
This means the system can't find the dvd on the CD! how do I download and burn to dvd and ensure all is correct.

Hello,
do you have folder structure on your boot disc or just an .iso file? If the latter you have to use an image burning software to burn the .iso file which will then be extracted to a bootable version.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

HI MW
uAttempt to use Nero failed.
The following files may not reside in the VIDEO_TS directory of a DVD-Video compilation. Only compliant DVD-Video files
VIDEO_TS.IFO,
VIDEO_TS.VOB,
VIDEO_TS.BUP,
VTS_nn_0.IFO,
VTS_nn_0.VOB,
VTS_nn_0.BUP and
VTS_nn_m.VOB
can be added to the VIDEO_TS folder. Please add files from a completed DVD-Video title or use an authoring software like Nero Vision to create DVD-Video files from standard video files such as *.avi and *.mpg.
The file does not match the current file filter.

Hello,
as said in the beginning the .iso must be extracted during the creation of the disk, please use the software/video to see how to do it.
The .iso file is NOT able to boot.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Hi,
Firstly, we need to verify if it is the burned CD issue. Please insert other Windows installation disc to see if you can boot correctly.
If you can boot other Windows installation disc, the burned CD may be not bootable. Then you need to burn a bootable CD, please refer to the following
articles:
Creating a bootable ISO / bootable CD
How
To Create a Bootable DVD for Windows Vista (or any Windows for that matter)
Alternatively, there are other tools to create a bootable CD:
Tools for Creating ISO images from CD, Creating Bootable CD's and Virtual
Floppy Disks
