Sounds like you did not burn a bootable cd. Please read the Download FAQOriginally Posted by oahuyahoo
Oh I made a bootable cd alright and some real progress, I finally got the screeen to tell me "Booting to PC-Dos." Then a cd rom driver. Tomorrow after i tear up my machine some more i might get it to tell me what a fool I am. I've had enough of this. When you guys are ready to unseat microsoft let me know.
noooo. you burn it as a image. if you get thast dos thoing you have made it wrong. it is the most compon mistake here.
a rough guess is that 30% of nonbootable complaints come from this very thing.
go here and read.

and here is a qouote from the part that you need
Q: I have downloaded the ISO file, now what ?
A:Several possibilities again:
* Windows quick answer: You will need one 700M blank cd. Use a program such as Nero burning rom. You can get a httpfree trial of Nero from their site. To burn with this program, skip the wizard and choose File>Burn Image. Select KNOPPIX_Vxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.iso file,>Burn. (Notice, Nero 6 has a bug preventing it from burning large images, for a patch see: httphttp://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4974#23520)
* Linux: you can use the command cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,3,0 filename where dev=0,3,0 is your cdwriter
(Attention, use "cdrecord -scanbus" before cdrecord to be sure that dev=0,3,0 is you cd-writer. If you own SCSI hds, you could lose all data of one hd when you use cdrecord with a wrong dev=(controler,id,partiton) !)
* Windows long answer: Of course the answer depends on the individual program you are using to burn CDs, but all common CD-Writing programs should support the option of burning bootable ISO-Images, you probably just have to find the right menu option. At the address httphttp://www.knopper.net/knoppix/docs/ and on some of the KNOPPIX-Mirrors in a directory with the same name, you may find some examples written as short step-by-step documentations from users who successfully completed the procedure. KNOPPIX_Vxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.iso -files are ISO-Images, which uses "El Torito"-Specification (httphttp://www.phoenix.com/resources/specs-cdrom.pdf).
In the ISO-Image there is not only user-data, but also information about the file structure of the CD itself. If you want to see the file structure, have a look at Isobuster (httphttp://www.IsoBuster.com).
To get the image-file on CD use RAW-Mode of your burning-software (have a look at Bild 1 WinOnCD German Edition).
Select the KNOPPIX_Vxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.iso as filename of the image. Select 2048 Bytes/Sector as the correct data format (see Bild 2 WinOnCD German Edition).
Burn your CD as a "Single Session CD" or select finalize. The Mode "Disk at once" or "Track at once" should be irrelevant for a data-CD (have a look at the Online-Help of your burning software). If the CD boots, but they are read errors, try "Disk at once".
