I have a problem booting with my Knoppix 3.3 English CD I made.

What I did:

1. Got the ISO off of linuxiso.org. Checked the MD5sums. It's good.
2. Went to Roxio's Easy CD Creator, went to make new Bootable CD, and used the ISO file and set it to no emulation.
3. It showed me two files:

BOOTCAT.BIN
BOOTIMG.BIN

4. I burned it, using a CD-RW, writing at 4x.
5. Rebooted my Windows XP computer with the disc in the DVD/CD-RW combo drive, and tried to boot it. It hangs infinitely with a blinking cursor.

What do I do? It does the same thing with a Debian boot disc as well. I tried booting with my Windows XP boot disk and it does fine, but this doesn't! I searched for answers in the forum but found none to suit my criteria.

Thanks..

You burnt it as a CD Bootable, you need to burn it as a CD Image file. I don't have Roxio (personally can't stand the interface with all of the limited options, so I use Ahead Nero), but you need to open/burn the image file, then you can burn it properly.
