Install Problems

I downloaded the ISO for Astaro 3.2, and burnt it. When I tried to install, I could not boot from the CD. I even tried on different CDROMS and computers...No luck!

The CD itself is fine.

Any suggestions?

Did you allow from BIOS setting to boot from
Cd-rom drive?

Yes, it will boot with any other CD eg. RedHat, Windows, etc.

Looking at the filesystem on the Astaro CD, doesn't look like it is bootable.

Did you burn the Cd as Astaro says on docs.astaro.org in burn How-to?

I have same problem. I can't boot and install Astaro 3.2 on my computer. I try everything. (Various CDRoms, new BIOS etc.)
Astaro 2.0 I can install on this computer without problems.
I have only pentium I, maybe it is cause of this problem.
