Problem booting up knoppix from DVD

[newlin]

I am new to linux. I am having trouble booting up from the DVD. I burnt the ISO file and when I try booting up from the DVD it just gives me the message "Missing Operating System".
Please help
Thanx in advance

Read the downloading faq, found by following the documentation link near the top of this page. I can't tell from what you posted exactly what is going wrong, but I'm sure the downloading faq will cover it (if it doesn't we'll update it to include the issue if you give more information). Please let us know.

Pretty much what Harry said. Here's the direct link (http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Downloading_FAQ#Q:_I_have_downloaded_the_ISO_file. _How_do_I_burn_the_ISO.3F_How_is_the_ISO_supposed_ to_be_burned.3F).

Good luck and be sure to let us know how things go.
